Text: | Take Time to Be Holy |
Author: | W. D. Longstaff |
Tune: | HOLINESS |
Composer: | George C. Stebbins |
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
God's 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 the 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 motive
beneath his control;
thus led by his spirit
to fountains of love,
thou soon shalt be fitted
for service above.
