Spirit of true holiness

Verse 1
Spirit of true holiness,
Thy last, great work fulfil,
In my sinless soul express
The Father’s righteous will;
With thy heavenly nature come,
And witness Christ in me reveal’d,
Satan and his works to doom,
And speak their ruin seal’d.

Verse 2
Cast th’ usurper from his throne,
And utterly destroy,
Let thy kingdom stand alone
In holy peace and joy,
Joy which none can take away,
Peace that never shall remove,
Holiness without alloy,
And pure, millennial love.
