500 ~ Take Time to Be Holy
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.
