HOLINESS

By L. E. Milne

“Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.” Heb. 12:14.

Precious Jesus! Oh! like thee, Pure and holy would I be; Have thy graces in me shine, Impress of thy love divine.

O thou love-inspiring Guest, Come, and reign within my breast. Come, and cleanse me from all sin; Let thy heavenly radiance in.

Let me feel thy presence sweet, While I worship at thy feet. Every day and every hour, Let me feel thy wondrous power.

Let me sink into thy will, All thy righteous law fulfill, Like my Saviour, meek and mild, Holy, just, and undefiled.

While I tread life's thorny way, Love thee more from day to day; Then my Lord will take me home When the welcome morn shall come.

Home, to dwell among the blest, Where with Jesus we shall rest, Taste the heavenly bliss so sweet, Cast our crowns at his dear feet.

Soon we'll reach the golden shore, Be with with Christ forevermore; Loud the songs of victory sing, Alleluia to our King.

L. E. MILNE.
