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.
