Take Time To Be Holy

4 verses

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 4

Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul; Each thought and each temper beneath His control: Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love, Thou soon shalt be fitted for service above.
