Take Time to Be Holy
Author: William D. Longstaff (1822-1894) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 300 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 16:8 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
His blessing to seek.
2 Take time be holy,
The world rushes on;
Much time spend 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
Beneath His control;
Thus led by His Spirit
To fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted
For service above.
Amen. Topics: Commitment; Discipleship; Life in Christ Dedication and Consecration Used With Tune: LONGSTAFF

So many glorious things are here,
Noble and right.

Joy to abound;
So many gentle thoughts and deeds
Circling us round,
That in the darkest spot of earth
Some love is found.

The best in store;
We have enough, yet not too much
To long for more;
A yearning for a deeper peace
Not known before.

He wants not friends that hath thy love
Author: Richard Baxter, 1615-1691 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 16:3 Lyrics: 1 He wants not friends that hath thy love,
and may converse and walk with thee,
and with thy saints here and above,
with whom for ever I must be.
2 In the blest fellowship of saints
is wisdom, safety, and delight;
and when my heart declines and faints,
it’s raisèd by their heat and light.
3 As for my friends, they are not lost;
the several vessels of thy fleet,
though parted now, by tempests tossed,
shall safely in the haven meet.
4 Still we are centred all in thee,
members, though distant, of one Head;
in the same family we be,
by the same faith and spirit led.
5 Before thy throne we daily meet
as joint-petitioners to thee;
in spirit we each other greet,
and shall again each other see.
6 The heavenly hosts, world without end,
shall be my company above;
and thou, my best and surest Friend,
who shall divide me from thy love? Used With Tune: UFFINGHAM

Rejoice in God's Saints
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 16:3 First Line: Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days! Lyrics: 1 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days!
A world without saints forgets how to praise.
Their faith in acquiring the habit of prayer,
their depth of adoring, Lord, help us to share.
2 Some march with events to turn them God's way;
some need to withdraw, the better to pray;
some carry the gospel through fire and through flood:
our world is their parish; their purpose is God.
3 Rejoice in those saints, unpraised and unknown,
who bear someone's cross, or shoulder their own;
they share our complaining, our comforts, our cares:
what patience in caring, what courage, is theirs!
4 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days!
A world without saints forgets how to praise.
In loving, in living, they prove it is true:
their way of self-giving, Lord, leads us to you. Topics: Christian Year All Saints; Community in Christ; Discipleship and Mission Used With Tune: OLD 104TH
