The God of Holiness and Love

lyricist: Daniel Borges, 2004–05
Composer: Lowell Mason, 1839

The God of ho­li­ness and love

His faith­ful­ness I see ab­ove

Though I am prone to sin;

But tri­umph­ing with His strong hand

I know with me He’ll ev­er stand

Till I reach Beu­lah Land.

Oh

Je­sus’ light and bound­less grace!

How blest was I to see His face

His life He did not spare;

This sin­ner He in love did seek

Enabling me His Word to speak

I walk as child and heir.

Yes

Je­sus died up­on the cross

To some it seems but pain and loss

But He the Lord ob­eyed;

The Pot­ter set­ting free His clay

To live ab­ove in end­less day

With love that can­not fade.

In that ce­les­ti­al home I’ll see

My bro­thers

sis­ters

fa­mi­ly

I long for His re­ward;

Then Je­sus will my soul em­brace

A crown of life my sins re­place

As long as I be­lieve!
