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.
