| 1. | Holy, happy separation! |
| | They alone are truly blest |
| | Who from all besides retiring, |
| | And Himself alone desiring |
| | Find in Jesus only rest, |
| | Find in Jesus only rest. |
| 2. | Jesus calls to separation, |
| | And Himself hath led the way; |
| | His own life the explanation, |
| | His own life the illistration |
| | Who is ready to obey? |
| | Who is ready to obey? |
| 3. | Blessed Jesus, make us willing, |
| | Thus without the camp to go |
| | Unto Thee in glad subjection, |
| | Unto Thee in Thy rejection, |
| | Unto Thee from all below, |
| | Unto Thee from all below! |
| 4. | Separate from all that grieves Thee, |
| | Separate from sinners too; |
| | Yet, like Thee, for sinners caring, |
| | And, like Thee, with sinners bearing, |
| | Asking, "What would Jesus do?" |
| | Asking, "What would Jesus do?" |
| 5. | Unto Thee! Beloved Master, |
| | Nearer, nearer let us be; |
| | Unto Thee in consecration, |
| | Unto Thee in separation, |
| | Ever, only, unto Thee, |
| | Ever, only, unto Thee! |
