Methodist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#327b

327b. 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 silver and my gold
Not a mite would I withhold:
Take my intellect and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose.

4 Take my voice and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.

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.
