Text: | Take Time to Be Holy |
Author: | William D. Longstaff |
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;
Much time 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 be'tide;
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
Beneath His control;
Thus led by His Spirit
To fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted
For service above.
