'Called Unto Holiness' is a holiness-movement hymn by Lelia N. Morris built around the refrain 'Holiness unto the Lord,' calling believers to sanctification, separation from sin, and Spirit-filled living. It was widely used in late 19th- and early 20th-century revival and camp-meeting settings.

Verse 1

Called unto holiness," Church of our God,
Purchased of Jesus, redeemed by His blood;
Called from the world and its idols to flee,
Called from the bondage of sin to be free.

Chorus

"Holiness unto the Lord," is our watchword and song,
"Holiness unto the Lord," as we're marching along:
Sing . . . it, shout it, loud . . . and long,
"Holiness unto the Lord," now and for ever.

Verse 2

"Called unto holiness," children of light,
Walking with Jesus in garments of white;
Raiment unsullied nor tarnished with sin,
God's Holy Spirit abiding within.

Chorus

"Holiness unto the Lord," is our watchword and song,
"Holiness unto the Lord," as we're marching along:
Sing . . . it, shout it, loud . . . and long,
"Holiness unto the Lord," now and for ever.

Verse 3

"Called unto holiness," praise His dear name,
This blessed secret to faith now made plain,
Not our own righteousness, but Christ within,
Living and reigning, and saving from sin.

Chorus

"Holiness unto the Lord," is our watchword and song,
"Holiness unto the Lord," as we're marching along:
Sing . . . it, shout it, loud . . . and long,
"Holiness unto the Lord," now and for ever.

Verse 4

"Called unto holiness," glorious thought!
Up from the wilderness wanderings brought
Out from the shadows and darkness of night
Into the Canaan of perfect delight.

Chorus

"Holiness unto the Lord," is our watchword and song,
"Holiness unto the Lord," as we're marching along:
Sing . . . it, shout it, loud . . . and long,
"Holiness unto the Lord," now and for ever.

Verse 5

"Called unto holiness," Bride of the Lamb,
Waiting the Bridegroom's returning again;
Lift up your heads, for the day draweth near,
When in His beauty the King shall appear.

Chorus

"Holiness unto the Lord," is our watchword and song,
"Holiness unto the Lord," as we're marching along:
Sing . . . it, shout it, loud . . . and long,
"Holiness unto the Lord," now and for ever.
