541. Take My Life, and Let It Be Consecrated

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.

Chorus:
Lord, I give my life to Thee,
Thine forevermore to be;
Lord, I give my life to Thee,
Thine forevermore to be.

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. [Chorus]

3 Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]
