136. L. M. C. Wesley.

The Holiness of God.

1Holy 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.

2And when thy purity we share,

Only thy glory we declare;

And humbled into nothing own,

Holy and pure is God alone.

3Sole self-existent God and Lord,

By all the heavenly hosts adored!

Let all on earth bow down to thee,

And own thy peerless majesty.
