Absolute Perfection

Charles Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: Leviticus 19:2

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

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

Verse 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.

Verse 4

Thy power unequaled we confess, Established on the rock of peace; The rock that never shall remove, The rock of pure, almighty love.
