Come and Be Sanctified

Charles W. Naylor • English

Primary Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:21

Verse 1

Come, justified soul, to the cross, The fullness is waiting for thee; The will of the Lord is revealed in His Word, That thou shouldst now sanctified be.

Chorus

Come, seek it today, No longer delay, Before Him in humbleness bow; And low at the cross, Count all things but loss, Oh, come and be sanctified now.

Verse 2

Why harbor a foe in thy breast? Why have such a battle within? Oh, come and be blest with a perfect soul-rest— A rest of full freedom from sin.

Chorus

Come, seek it today, No longer delay, Before Him in humbleness bow; And low at the cross, Count all things but loss, Oh, come and be sanctified now.

Verse 3

The veil of the holiest place Is rent and wide open for thee; A new living way giveth entrance today To grace that is boundless and free.

Chorus

Come, seek it today, No longer delay, Before Him in humbleness bow; And low at the cross, Count all things but loss, Oh, come and be sanctified now.

Verse 4

The blood of the Savior will cleanse From all the inherited sin; Then grace to thy heart will the Spirit impart, Thus make and keep holy within.

Chorus

Come, seek it today, No longer delay, Before Him in humbleness bow; And low at the cross, Count all things but loss, Oh, come and be sanctified now.
