Take My Life and Let It Be
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,241 hymnals Topics: The Church at Worship Profession of Faith, Ordination, Commissioning, Installation; Ordination Lyrics: 1 Take my life and let it be
consecrated, all for 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 purposeful for thee.
3 Take my lips, and let them be
filled with messages from thee;
take my intellect, and use
every power as thou shalt choose.
4 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.
5 Take my love: and I will pour
at thy feet its treasure store;
take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee.

Hark! The Voice of Jesus Calling
Author: Daniel March, 1816-1909 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 514 hymnals Topics: Ordination Lyrics: 1 Hark! The voice of Jesus calling,
"Who will go and work today?
Fields are ripe and harvests waiting;
who will bear the sheaves away?"
Earnestly the Master calls us;
rich reward he offers free;
who will answer, gladly saying,
"Here am I, O Lord, send me"?
2 If you cannot cross the ocean
and the distant lands explore,
you can find the needy nearer.
you can help them at your door.
If you cannot give your thousands,
you can serve with willing might,
and whate'er you do for Jesus
will be precious in his sight.
3 Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do,"
while so many souls are dying,
and the Master calls for you.
Take the task he gives you gladly;
let his work your pleasure be;
answer quickly when he calls you,
"Here am I, O Lord, send me." Scripture: Matthew 4:18-22 Used With Tune: ELLESDIE

Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
Hold me with thy powerful hand;
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more,
Feed me till I want no more.
2 Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through;
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
Be thou still my strength and shield,
Be Thou still my strength and shield.
3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of deaths, and hell's Destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan's side;
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to thee,
I will ever give to thee.

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Author: Jeffery W. Rowthorn Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 44 hymnals Topics: Ordination/Installation Refrain First Line: with the Spirit's gifts empower us Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission:
“Heal the sick and preach the word.”
Lest the church neglect its mission,
and the gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity:
with the Spirit’s gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
2 Lord, you call us to your service:
“In my name baptize and teach.”
That the world may trust your promise,
life abundant meant for each,
give us all new fervor, draw us
closer in community:
with the Spirit’s gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
3 Lord, you make the common holy:
“This, my body; this, my blood.”
Let us all, for earth’s true glory,
daily lift life heavenward,
asking that the world around us
share your children’s liberty:
with the Spirit’s gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
4 Lord, you show us love’s true measure:
“Father, what they do, forgive.”
Yet we hoard as private treasure
all that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
to a just society:
with the Spirit’s gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
“I am with you to the end.”
Faith and hope and love restoring,
may we serve as you intend,
and, amid the cares that claim us,
hold in mind eternity:
with the Spirit’s gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
