When I first heard of Holiness........
I thought it must be right.....
It seemed to fit the Bible.........
And be the Christian's light......
I heard the people singing..........
And testifying too......
They seemed to love their Savior.....
As Christian's ought to do......
The Chorus:
Yes, we'll sing until we die.....
We'll preach and testify......
We'll preach the way of Holiness so true....
Yes, we'll sing until we die.....
We'll preach and testify......
Till our precious loving Savior's face we view......
Verse Two:
I went to a campmeeting...........
And heard them preach and sing....
They surely preached the Bible.....
And made the welcome's ring...
It made me think of Heaven..........
The Christian's home on high....
Where they will live forever......
And never, never die........
Verse Three:
I little thought of joining...........
I said I could not stand.......
To be among the people.........
They called the "Holy band"......
The world looked down upon them.....
And said they were so rash....
They often spoke against them........
And said they were but trash....
Verse Four:
But as I went near them..........
And saw the way they did.......
I saw they had a treasure..........
From worldly people hid......
They seemed to be so happy..........
And filled with Christian love.....
When the people talked abou them.....
They only looked above........
Verse Five:
My heart begain to hunger........
And thirst and burn within.....
I wanted full salvation..........
And freedom from all sin.....
I went to God for Holiness.........
And called upon His name.......
He cleansed my heart completely......
And filled it with the same...
Verse Six:
And now I'm one who bears that name.....
That happy Holy band.........
I've crossed the river Jordon......
I'm into Canaan's land.......
The atmosphere is pleasant.........
With fruit of every kind........
When you reach Heaven's portals......
I'll not be far behind........
The Chorus:
Yes, we'll sing until we die.....
We'll preach and testify......
We'll preach the way of Holiness so true....
Yes, we'll sing until we die.....
We'll preach and testify......
Till our precious loving Savior's face we view......
Tag
Yes, we'll sing until we die....and we'll preach and testify....
Till our precious, loving Savior's face we view........
