ENGLISH -
Refrain:
Take my life, that I may be
consecrated, Lord, to thee;
take my moments and my days;
let them flow in ceaseless praise.

1 Take my hands and let them move
at the impulse of thy love;
take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for thee. [Refrain]

2 Take my silver and my gold,
not a mite would I withhold;
take my intellect and use
every pow'r as thou shalt choose. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]

SPANISH -
Estribillo:
Toma, oh Dios, mi voluntad,
y hazla tuya, nada más;
toma, sí, mi corazón
y tu trono en él tendrás.

1 Que mi vida entera esté
consagrada a ti, Señor;
que a mis manos pueda guiar
el impulso de tu amor. [Estribillo]

2 Que mis pies tan sólo en pos
de lo santo puedan ir,
y que a ti, Señor, mi oz,
se complazca en bendecir. [Estribillo]

3 Que mi tiempo todo esté
consagrado a tu loor;
que mi mente y su poder
sean usados en tu honor. [Estribillo]
