Author: W. D. Longstaff Hymnal: The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship #281 (1938) Lyrics: 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 blessings to seek.
2 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.
3 Take time to be holy,
Be calm in thy soul;
Each tho't and each motive
Beneath His control.
Thus led by His Spirit
To fountains of love,
Thou soon shall be fitted
For service above.
