Celebrating Grace Hymnal ‎#490

490. Take My Life, and Let It Be Consecrated

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 silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold;
take my moments and my days,
let them flow in ceaseless praise,
let them flow in ceaseless praise.

4 Take my will and make it Thine;
it shall be no longer mine;
take my heart, it is Thine own,
it shall be Thy royal throne,
it shall be Thy royal throne.

5 Take my love, my Lord, I pour
at Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself and I will be
ever, only, all for Thee,
ever, only, all for Thee.
