Analysis of A Holy Living Call
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Prepare your mind for action,
And being sober-minded:
This place has no attraction,
Causing you to be blinded.
Set hope fully on the grace,
Brought by the revelation;
Not enticed upon this place,
And be a new creation.
Be not conformed to passions,
Of your former ignorance;
Go in obedient fashions,
With spiritual tolerance.
He who called you is holy,
Be holy in your conduct;
Of heavenly thoughts solely,
As Christ Jesus did instruct.
You shall be holy as He,
Calling God as your Father;
Who judges that He does see,
And Jesus as Your Brother.
Conducting yourself with fear,
Through your time of exile;
Show love, honor, and revere,
So that you will not defile.
Knowing that you were ransomed,
Not with perishable things;
Rather becoming blossomed,
As to what His body brings.
With the precious blood of Christ,
Like a lamb without blemish;
Because He was sacrificed,
Having the love that you cherish.
Known before the foundation,
That He was made manifest;
For your sake of salvation,
By the Father, you are blest.
Who through Him are believers,
Who raised Jesus from the dead;
Through your faith as receivers,
Hope in the glory has fed.
