Showers of Blessing ‎#75

75. Jesus, I will Take Thee

1 Jesus, I will take thee,
While life’s moments roll,
And thro’ endless ages,
Saviour of my soul;
Jesus, Saviour, take me,
Cleanse me in thy blood,
Thro’ thy full atonement,
Draw me nigh to God.

Refrain:
By thy power made willing,
Saviour I take thee;
Now and forever,
Graciously take me;
By thy power made willing,
Saviour, I take thee;
Now and forever,
Graciously take me.

2 Jesus, I will take thee
For my Lord and King,
To thy blessed service
Glad allegiance bring;
Jesus, Mater, take me,
Keep me as thine own;
All my life controlling,
From thy royal throne. [Refrain]

3 Jesus, I will take thee
For my truest Friend;
Come to thee for comfort;
On thy help depend;
Jesus, Master, take me
To thy heart of grace,
Lift on me the sunshine
Of thy loving face. [Refrain]
