Take My Life, and Let It Be

Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1,213 hymnals Scripture: Romans 6:19 Lyrics: 1 Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to thee. Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise, 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, 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, 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, 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, it shall be thy royal throne. 6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour at thy feet its treasure store. Take my self, and I will be ever, only, all for thee, ever, only, all for thee. Topics: The Christian Life Christian Service; Daily Living; Ministry Ordinations Used With Tune: HENDON

My foes are ever near me, around me and within; but, Jesus, draw still nearer and shield my soul from sin! 3 O let me hear you speaking in accents clear and still, above the storms of passion, the murmurs of self-will. O speak to reassure me, to hasten or control; and speak to make me listen, O Guardian of my soul. 4 O Jesus, you have promised to all who follow you that where you are in glory your servants shall be too. O guide me, call me, draw me, uphold me to the end, when you in glory take me, my Savior and my Friend.

At the Name of Jesus

Author: Caroline M. Noel Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 255 hymnals Scripture: Romans 6 Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, every tongue confess him King of glory now; 'tis the Father's pleasure we should call him Lord, who from the beginning was the mighty Word. 2 At his voice creation sprang at once to sight: all the angel faces, all the hosts of light, thrones and dominations, stars upon their way, all the heavenly orders in their great array. 3 Humbled for a season, to receive a name from the lips of sinners, unto whom he came; faithfully he bore it spotless to the last, brought it back victorious when from death he passed; 4 bore it up triumphant with its human light, through all ranks of creatures, to the central height, to the throne of Godhead, to the Father's breast; filled it with the glory of that perfect rest. 5 In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue all that is not holy, all that is not true. Look to him, your Savior, in temptation's hour; let his will enfold you in its light and power. 6 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again, with his Father's glory, o'er the earth to reign; for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow, and our hearts confess him King of glory now.
