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, 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.
Take time to behold Him. In our practise of beholding Him we also learn to know and walk in His presence, having many conversation with Him in secrecy.
This hymn has been playing inside me for almost 2 weeks—fragmented in remembering the words!!
A sister asked that we sing this as prayer after a message that included II Corinthians 3:17. Lord, If I neglect making time then time is wasted. I just want to behold You, gaze on You.
I like the change from "be holy" to 'behold Him." If you understand that "be holy" is not an act or trained behavior; but a Person, a key quality of Him, the the original is better. But so many have warped the understanding of "Holy".
Lord, in this darkening age keep the eyes of your people fixed on YOU, trusting Your unchanging Word.
I know that most of us are very very busy. But brothers and sister take at least 3-5 a day to behold Him. Some little duration of time is better than no duration of time at all. AMEN
As Albert, 3/16/2009, said, the original says, "Take time to be holy". Both are good, but I think "take time to be holy" is more meaningful. We need to take time to be holy, and a big part of that is to take time to behold Him.
In stanza 1, lines 5-6 in the original are more down to earth:
Make friends of God's children;
Help those who are weak;

The son of a wealthy ship merchant, William Longstaff was treasurer of his church and gave liberally to Christian causes. When evangelists D. L. Moody and Ira Sankey came to England, he assisted them financially, and he also wrote reports of the meetings for the Christian press.
A few years later Longstaff heard a sermon on the text "Be ye holy, for I am holy" and wrote down what holiness meant to him. A businessman at heart, Longstaff wrote no flowery or pious-sounding verses, but these down-to-earth thoughts.
The hymn appeared in a Christian newspaper in 1882 and was promptly forgotten. But years later composer George Stebbins, who was leading music in India in connection with evangelistic services there, remembered the poem when he was asked if there was a good hymn on living a holy life. Retrieving the newspaper clipping he had saved, he set the poem to music. - Great Songs of Faith by Brown & Norton
