Take Time to Be Holy

TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY.


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.

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..

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.

Take time to be holy,
Be calm in thy soul;
Each tho't and each motive
Beneath His control;..
Thus led by His Spirit
To fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted
For service above.


By William D Longstaff (1822-1894)
