religious, and learn to
worship. Come, and as you fall down in self-abasement, the glory of the
Holy One will shine upon you. And as you hear and take up and sing the
song, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, you will find how in such knowledge and worship
of the Thrice Holy One is the power that makes you holy.
BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.
Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God Almighty! which wast, and art, and art to
come! I worship Thee as the Triune God. With face veiled and feet
covered, I would bow in deep humility and silence, till Thy mercy lift
me as on eagles' wings to behold Thy glory.
Most merciful God! who hast called me to be holy as Thou art holy, oh,
reveal to me somewhat of Thy Holiness! As it shines upon me and strikes
death into the creature and the flesh, may even the most involuntary
taint of sin, and its slightest movement, become unbearable. As it
shines and revives the hope of being partaker of Thy Holiness, may the
confidence grow strong that Thou Thyself art making me holy, wilt even
make me a messenger of Thy Holiness.
Thrice Holy God! I worship Thee as my God. HOLY! THE FATHER; holy and
making holy; making holy His own Son and sending Him into the world,
that we might behold the very glory of God in a human face, the face of
Jesus Christ. HOLY! THE SON; the Holy One of God, fulfilling the will of
the Father, and so making holy Himself that He might be our holiness.
HOLY! THE SPIRIT; the Spirit of Holiness, dwelling within us, making the
Son and His Holiness our own, and so making us partakers of the Holiness
of God. O my God! I bow down, and worship, and adore.
May even now the worship of heaven that rests not day or night be the
worship my soul renders Thee without ceasing. May its song be, down in
the depths of the heart, the keynote of my life: HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, Lord
God Almighty! which wast, and art, and art to come. Amen.
1. Thought always needs to distinguish and separate: in life
alone there is perfect unity. The more we know the living God,
the more we shall realize how truly the Three are One. In each
act of One Person the other Two are present. There is not a
prayer rises but the Presence of the Holy Three is needed
through Christ, in the Spirit, we speak to the Father.
2. In faith to apprehend this is to have the secret of holiness.
The Holy God above us, ever giving and working; the Holy One of
God, the living gift, who has possession of us, in whom w
