The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#419

419. He wills that I should holy be

1 He wills that I should holy be;
That holiness I long to feel,
That full divine conformity
To all my Saviour’s righteous will.

2 On thee, O God, my soul is stayed,
And waits to prove thine utmost will;
The promise, by thy mercy made,
Thou canst, thou wilt in me fulfil.

3 Thy loving Spirit, Christ, alone
Can lead me forth and make me free,
Burst every bond through which I groan
And set my heart at liberty.

4 Now let thy Spirit bring me in,
And give thy servant to possess
The land of rest from inbred sin,
The land of perfect holiness.

5 Lord, I believe thy power the same,
The same thy grace and truth endure;
And in thy blessèd hands I am,
And trust thee for a perfect cure.

6 Come, Saviour, come and make me whole,
Entirely all my sins remove;
To perfect health restore my soul,
To perfect holiness and love.
