Author: Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-1879 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #625b (2000) Meter: 7.7.7.7 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
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.
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: Faith, Trust and Commitment; Offertory Hymn; Year C Proper 18 Languages: English Tune Title: NOTTINGHAM
