Hymns

The Father is a holy God;

by Richard Burnham·1814·Meter 8.6.8.6 (CM)

Based on Lev 19:2; 1 Sam 2:2; Heb 12:14

1

The Father is a holy God;
His holy Son he gave;
Who freely shed atoning blood,
A guilty world to save.

2

The Spirit brings the chosen race,
A holy Christ to view;
And while by faith they see his face,
Their souls grow holy too.

3

In holiness the saints delight,
While here on earth they dwell;
By faith they wrestle day and night,
More holiness to feel.

4

The Holy Spirit leads them on,
His holy truth to know;
Inscribes his laws in every son,
And works obedience too.

5

He makes them feel the cleansing grace,
That flows through Jesus' blood;
Unites in love the holy race -
The new-born sons of God.
