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 nothingHis blessing to seek.2.Take time to be holy,The world rushes on;Spend much time in secretWith Jesus alone;By looking to Jesus,Like Him thou shalt be;Thy friends in thy conductHis 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 tho't and each motiveBeneath His control;Thus led by His SpiritTo fountains of love,Thou soon shalt be fittedFor service above.
