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. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:16 Used With Tune: HOLINESS
