Take Time to Be Holy
words by William D. Longstaff, music by George C. Stebbins


Verse 1:

E               A  E         B7          E
Take time to be ho-ly, Speak often with  God;

                 A  E     B   F#          B7
Find rest in Him al-ways, And feed on His Word.

B7                    E         B7                 E
Make friends of God�s children, Help those who are weak,

              A       E/B  B           E
Forgetting in nothing His  blessing to seek.


Verse 2:

Take time to be holy, The world rushes on;
Much time spend in secret, With Jesus alone.
By looking to Jesus, Like Him thou shalt be;
Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see.


Verse 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 the Lord,
And, looking to Jesus, Still trust in His Word.
