Text: | Take My Life |
Author: | Frances Ridley Havergal |
Tune: | HOLLINGSIDE |
Composer: | J. B. Dykes |
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 feet, and let them be
swift and beautiful for thee.
2 Take my voice, and let it sing
always, only, for my King;
take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from thee.
Take my silver and my gold,
not a mite would I withhold;
take my intellect and use
every power as thou shalt choose.
3 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.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour
at thy feet its treasure store;
take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee.
