Tune: | [Take time to be holy] |
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
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 motive
Be 'neath His control;
Thus led by His Spirit
To fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted
For service above.
