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! Be calm in thy soul;

each thought and each temper beneath His control,

thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love,

thou soon shalt be fitted for service above.
