Take time to be holy, speak of 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, 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.
3
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.
