Tekst

Take Time to be Holy
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 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.

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.
