Hymns for a Pilgrim People ‎#349

349. Take My Life and Let It Be

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

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

Amen.
