Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

The highest and the holiest place 
The highest and the holiest place guards not the heart from sin; the Church that safest seems without may harbor foes within. 
Thus in the small and chosen band, beloved above the rest, one fell from his apostleship, a traitor-soul unblest. 
But not the great designs of God man's sins shall overthrow; another witness to the truth forth to the lands shall go. 
The soul that sinneth, it shall die; thy purpose shall not fail; the word of grace no less shall sound, the truth no less prevail. 
Righteous, O Lord, are all thy ways; long as the worlds endure, from foes without and foes within thy Church shall stand secure.
