Take time to behold Him,
|
|
| 1. | 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. |
| 2. | 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. |
| 3. | 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. |
| 4. | 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. |
