Author: Frances Ridley Havergal (1836-1879) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #787a (2013) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern 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. Topics: Commitment; Dedication of people; Devotion; Discipleship; Proper 23 Year B; Proper 8 Year B; Self-offering; Stewardship; The Fourth Sunday before Lent Year A; Vocation; Christian Initiation Scripture: Mark 12:41-44 Languages: English Tune Title: NOTTINGHAM
