Holiness by Faith

Holiness by faith in Jesus
Resting in the faithful One
Standing on the living promise
That His perfect will be done
Not a flesh dependent trying
Nor a passive resting place
But a looking unto Jesus
Trusting to obey by grace

Holiness by faith in Jesus
Accessing the Holy Life
Who enables holy living
In a world of sin and strife
Not one's best to serve the Master
But the Master's best in him
"Christ in you the hope of glory!"
This the saint's triumphant hymn

Holiness by faith in Jesus
Beautiful the sov'reign plan
Changed into the Savior's image
Transformation of a man
Not an imitation effort
But the life of Christ Himself
Living through the yielded vessel
This the saints' adopted wealth

Holiness by faith in Jesus
Not by effort of thine own
Sin's dominion crushed and broken
By the pow'r of grace alone
God's own holiness within thee
His own beauty on thy brow
This shall by thy pilgrim brightness
This shall by thy pilgrim brightness
This thy blessed portion now
Amen!
