TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY
1. Take time to be holy, speak oft
with thy Lord;
Abide in Him always, and feed on
His Word;
Make friends of God’s children
help those who are weak;
Forgetting in nothing, His blessing
to seek.
2. Take time to be holy, the world
rushes on;
Spend much time in secret with
Jesus alone-
By looking to Jesus, like Him thou
shalt be;
Thy friends in thy conduct His
likeness shall see.
3. Take time to be holy, let Him be
Thy Guide;
And run not before Him, whatever
betide;
In joy or in sorrow still follow thy
Lord,
And, looking to Jesus, still trust in
His word.
4. Take time to be holy, be calm in
thy soul;
Each thought and each temper
beneath His control:
Thus led by His Spirit to fountains
of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted for service
above.
