Take time to behold Him
Speak oft with Thy Lord
Abide in Him always
And feed on His Word.
Wait thou in His presence
Submissive and meek
Forgetting in nothing
His blessing to seek.
Take time to behold Him
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.
Take time to behold Him
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.
Take time to behold Him
Be calm in thy soul
Each thought and each temper
Beneath His control.
Thus led by His Spirit
To fountains of love
Thou then shalt be fitted
His mercy to prove.
