500- Take Time to Be Holy

Christian Life: Meditation and Prayer

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.
