You’ve known me Lord, since before my birth,
You know every step taken on smooth or rough earth,
You know God my true assessed worth,
You know my dryness, my souls dearth.
I plead, do with me as You will.
Search, O Savior this heart of mine,
From all evil it un-entwine,
Make my heart now wholly, always Thine.
Allow me to fully with Divinity combine,
With holiness and pure fire my soul fill.
Keep me forever from the counterfeit,
Let my path be eternally lit,
Till at last I, in heaven humbly sit,
All by your mercy – every whit!
Help me take from You every strong pill.

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 blessing to seek.
Take time to be holy, 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 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.
Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul,
Each thought and each motive beneath His control.
Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted for service above.
William D (Dunn) Longstaff was born this date, 11/26/1822 at Sunderland, Durham, England.
