760. Take My Life, That I May Be (Que mi vida entera esté)

Refrain:
Take my life, that I may be
consecrated, God, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in ceaseless praise.

1 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. [Refrain]

2 Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my love; my God, I pour
at thy feet its treasure store. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

Refrain:
Toma, oh Dios, mi voluntad,
y hazla tuya, nada más;
toma, sí, mi corazón
y tu trono en él tendrás.

1 Que mi vida entera esté
consagrada a ti, Señor;
Que mis días al correr
manifiesten tu loor. [Refrain]

2 Que mis manos puedan dar
el impulso de tu amor;
que mis pies al caminar
lleven siempre bendición. [Refrain]

3 Que mis bienes ofrendar
sepa siempre a ti, Señor;
y mi amor a ti lo doy,
mi tesoro, lo que soy. [Refrain]
