2. This Holy One is the Righteous God, a consuming fire. Cast
yourself into it, that all that is sinful may be destroyed. As
you lay yourself upon the altar, expect the fire. 'And yield
your members unto God as instruments of Righteousness.'
3. This Holy One is the God of Love. He is your Father; yield
yourself to let the Holy Spirit cry in you, Abba Father! that
is, to let Him shed abroad and fill your heart with God's
father-love. God's Holiness is His fatherliness; our holiness

filling all, working all. Worship Him, come near to Him, live
with and in and for Him: He will be your holiness.
