Religion

Obadiah: There shall he holiness

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

Saved from the guilt and power of sin
By their atoning God,
His people shall be pure within
Through Jesu's hallowing blood;
The church, a mount of holiness
Shall in His image rise,
And perfected in love, possess
Their portion in the skies.
