Take Time to Be Holy

Author: W. D. Longstaff Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 328 hymnals Topics: Life of Discipleship Prayer and Guidance; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Prayer and Guidance Lyrics: 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.

Now direct our daily labor, lest we strive for self alone; born with talents, make us servants fit to answer at Your throne. 3 Treasure too you have entrusted, gain through powers your grace conferred; ours to use for home and kindred, and to spread the gospel Word.
