Text: | Take My Life, God, Let It Be |
Author: | Frances R. Havergal |
Tune: | VIENNA |
Composer: | Justin H. Knecht |
1 Take my life,God, let it be
consecrated faithfully.
Take my moments and my days,
let them flow in ceaseless praise.
2 Take my spirit, let it move
at the impulse of your love.
Take my intellect and use
all its powers as you choose.
3 Take my will; your will be done!
Make your will and mine be one.
Take my heart, and by your grace
make of it your dwelling place.
4 Take my love and help it grow;
let my loving overflow.
Take me now, and help me be
part of Christ's community.
