Text: | Take My Life |
Author: | Frances R. Havergal, 1836-1879 |
Tune: | HOLLINGSIDE |
Composer: | John B. Dykes, 1823-1876 |
1. Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
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.
2. Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my king;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as thou shalt choose.
Take my will, and make it thine:
It shall be no longer mine.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for thee.
