Text: | Consecration Hymn |
Author: | Frances Ridley Havergal |
Tune: | PATMOS |
Composer: | William H. Havergal |
1. Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to thee;
Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
2. 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.
3. Take my voice and let me sing
Always, only for my King;
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from thee.
4. Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect and use
Ev'ry pow'r as thou shalt choose.
5. 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.
6. Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for thee.
