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.
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.
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.
Take time to be holy, Be calm in
thy soul--
Each thought and each motive, Beneath
His control.
Thus led by His Spirit, To fountains
of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted, For
service above.
