Take
time to be holy, speak often 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 shall 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 the Lord,
And
looking to Jesus, still trust in His word.
Take
time to be holy, be calm in thy soul,
Each
thought and each motive, beneath His control.
Thus
led by His Spirit, to foundations of love,
Thou
soon shall be fitted, for service above.
