The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#470

470. Take My Life, and Let It Be

1 Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love,
At the impulse of Thy love.

2 Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee;
Take my voice and let me sing
Always, only, for my King,
Always, only, for my King.

3 Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee;
Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold,
Not a mite would I withhold.

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,
It shall be Thy royal throne.

5 Take my love: my God, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure-store;
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever only, all for Thee.

AMEN.
