Text:Entire Consecration
Author:Frances Ridley Havergal
Tune:[Take my life, and let it be]
Chorus by W. J. K.:Wm. J. Kirkpatrick

69. Entire Consecration

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:
Wash me in the Saviour's precious blood,
Cleanse me in its purifying flood,
Lord, I give to thee, my life and all, to be,
Thine, henceforth, eternally.

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 lips, and let them be
Filled with messages for thee;
Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold. [Chorus]

4 Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise;
Take my intellect, and use
Ev'ry power as thou shalt choose. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]

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! [Chorus]
