Take time to behold Him

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.
