African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#292

292. Take My Life, and Let It Be

1 Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love,
At the impulse of Thy love.

2 Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee;
Take my voice and let me sing
Always, only, for my King,
Always, only, for my King.

3 Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages for Thee.
Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold,
Not a mite would I withhold.

4 Take my love: my God, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever only, All for Thee.

Amen.
