Text: | Take my life, and let it be |
Author: | Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-1879 |
Tune: | HOLLINGSIDE |
Composer: | John Bacchus Dykes, 1823-1876 |
1 Take my life, and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee;
take my moments and my days,
let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, and let them move
at the impulse of thy love;
take my heart, it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne.
2 Take my voice, and let me sing
always, only, for my King;
take my intellect, and use
every power as thou shalt choose.
Take my will, and make it thine;
it shall be no longer mine.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee.
