Text:Consecration
Author:Frances Ridley Havergal
Tune:[Take my life, and let it be]
Composer:Adam Geibel

1. Consecration

1 Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Refrain:
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.

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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

5 Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee. [Refrain]
