Take Time to be Holy

{c: Verse 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.

{c: Verse 2}
Take time to be holy!
The world rushes on;
Much time spend in secret
With Jesus alone;

By looking to Jesus,
Like Him thou shalt be;
Thy friends in thy conduct,
His likeness shall see.

{c: Verse 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.

{c: Verse 4}
Take time to be holy,
Be calm in thy soul;
Each thought and each motive
Beneat His control;

Thus, led by His Spirit
To fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted
For service above.
