To redeem and make you holy

Author: Walter Henry Windybank (1872-1952) Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The life of holiness Challenge First Line: Just outside the land of promise Lyrics: 1 Just outside the land of promise You have waited many years, And your life has been o’erclouded With a host of haunting fears. There is victory in Jesus, Come to him without delay; Seek just now a full salvation And the voice of God obey. Refrain: To redeem and make you holy Jesus left his throne above; Now believe and take the blessing, Nothing less than perfect love. 2 You have long been hesitating, Hindered by your unbelief, And your wilful disobedience Oft has caused you bitter grief. Stay no longer on the threshold, Now believe and enter in; Claim through Christ complete deliverance From the slavery of sin. 3 Though you know your sins forgiven, Greater things await you still; Freedom here from sin’s dominion, Power to do the Master’s will. Fear no longer, he is with you, Let no foe your steps arrest; Seek today the Father’s blessing, Enter now the land of rest.

Doing the will of God

Author: Edward Henry Joy (1871-1949) Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The life of holiness Challenge First Line: O that in me the mind of Christ Lyrics: 1 O that in me the mind of Christ A fixed abiding-place may find, That I may know the will of God, And live in him for lost mankind. Refrain: Doing the will of God, Doing the will of God, The best thing I know in this world below Is doing the will of God. 2 The suffering servant he became, Yea mare; in loneliness and lass He bare for me in grief and shame, A crown of thorns, a heavy cross. 3 O that in me this mind might be, The will of Gad be all my joy, Prepared with him to go or stay, My chief delight his sweet employ. 4 More than all else I would became The servant of my servant-Lord; My highest glory his reproach, To do his will my best reward.

We have not known thee as we ought

Author: Thomas Benson Pollock (1836-96) Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: The life of holiness Challenge Lyrics: 1 We have not known thee as we ought, Nor learned thy wisdom, grace and power; The things of earth have filled our thought, And trifles of the passing hour. Lord, give us light thy truth to see, And make us wise in knowing thee. 2 We have not feared thee as we ought, Nor bowed beneath thine aweful eye, Nor guarded deed and word and thought, Remembering that God was nigh. Lord, give us faith to know thee near, And gram the grace of holy fear. 3 We have not loved thee as we ought, Nor cared that we are loved by thee; Thy presence we have coldly sought, And feebly longed thy face to see. Lord, give a pure and loving heart To feel and know the love thou art. 4 We have not served thee as we ought; Alas, the duties left undone, The work with little fervour wrought, The battles lost or scarcely won! Lord, give the zeal, and give the might, For thee to toil, for thee to fight. 5 When shall we know thee as we ought, And fear and love and serve aright? When shall we, out of trial brought, Be perfect in the land of light? Lord, may we day by day prepare To see thy face and serve thee there.
