Holy as thou, O Lord, is none

Holiness.

HOLY as thou, O Lord, is none;
   Thy holiness is all thine own;
   A drop of that unbounded sea
   Is ours, a drop derived from thee.

2 And when thy purity we share,
   Thine only glory we declare;
   And, humbled into nothing, own,
   Holy and pure is God alone.

3 Sole, self-existing God and Lord,
   By all thy heavenly hosts adored,
   Let all on earth bow down to thee,
   And own thy peerless majesty:

4 Thy power unparallel’d'confess,
   Establish’d on the Rock of peace;
   The Rock that never shall remove,—-
   The Rock of pure, almighty love.
                  Charles Wesley
