Take my life, and let it be
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal (1836-1879) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,215 hymnals Topics: Dedication of Life 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.
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 voice, and let me sing,
Always, only, for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.
4 Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use
Every power 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.
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.
Amen. Used With Tune: MOZART

Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife,

Be to the helpless a helper indeed,
Unto your mission be true. (Refrain) Languages: English Tune Title: [Out in the highways and byways of life]

All our sins by Thee forgiven;
Led by Thee from earth to heaven.

O Jesus, Once a Nazareth Boy
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Hymnal for Boys and Girls #54 (1936) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Dedication of Life Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, once a Nazareth boy,
And tempted like as we,
All inward foes help us destroy
And spotless all to be.
We trust thee for the grace to win
The high, victorious, goal,
Where purity shall conquer sin
In Christlike self control.
2 O Jesus, Prince of life and truth,
Beneath thy banner bright,
We dedicate our strength and youth
To battle for the right;
We give our lives with glad intent
To serve the world and thee,
To die, to suffer and be spent
To set our brothers free.
3 In serried ranks, with fearless tread,
O Captain of us all,
Thy glory on our banners shed,
We answer to thy call;
And where the fiercest battles press
Against the hosts of sin,
To rescue those in dire distress
We gladly enter in.
Amen.

Henry Purcell
1659 - 1695 Person Name: Henry Purcell (1658-1695) Topics: Dedication of Life Composer (attributed to) of "WALSALL" in The Hymnal Henry Purcell (b. Westminster, London, England, 1659; d. Westminster, 1695), was perhaps the greatest English composer who ever lived, though he only lived to the age of thirty-six. Purcell's first piece was published at age eight when he was also a chorister in the Chapel Royal. When his voice changed in 1673, he was appointed assistant to John Hingston, who built chamber organs and maintained the king's instruments. In 1674 Purcell began tuning the Westminster Abbey organ and was paid to copy organ music. Given the position of composer for the violins in 1677, he also became organist at Westminster Abbey in 1679 (at age twenty) and succeeded Hingston as maintainer of the king's instruments (1683). Purcell composed music for the theater (Dido and Aeneas, c. 1689) and for keyboards, provided music for royal coronations and other ceremonies, and wrote a substantial body of church music, including eighteen full anthems and fifty-six verse anthems.
