Hymns about Holiness of God

The holiness of God is His absolute moral purity and His majestic otherness, set apart from all creation and from all sin. Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory. Scripture shows that none can stand before Him in uncleanness, and that access into His presence is only through the mediation of Christ and the cleansing of His blood. God's holiness is the measure of all righteousness; it explains both the severity of judgment against sin and the wonder of grace that makes a people holy unto Himself. To know God truly is to tremble at His holiness and to rejoice that He is good.

Hymns on the holiness of God cultivate reverence, humility, and purified praise. They call congregations away from casual worship to awe before the thrice-holy Lord. Such songs often confess human unworthiness, celebrate the provision of cleansing, and urge a walk worthy of the calling received. When the church sings of divine holiness, it learns again that worship is serious joy and that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

These hymns belong in Lord's Day worship, communion preparation, and seasons of repentance and renewal. In private devotion they search the heart and draw the believer to the mercy seat. Explore this collection for songs that magnify the holiness of God without losing the comfort of the gospel.
