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 blessings to seek Take time to be holy The world rushes on Spend much time in secret, with Jesus alone Abiding in 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 motive beneath His control Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love Thou soon shalt be fitted for service above
