Author: Charles H. Gabriel Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #362 (1974) Meter: 10.10.11.11 with refrain First Line: More like the Master I would ever be Refrain First Line: Take Thou my heart, I would be Thine alone Lyrics: 1 More like the Master I would ever be,
More of His meekness, more humility;
More zeal to labor, more courage to be true,
More consecration for work He bids me do.
Refrain:
Take Thou my heart, I would be Thine alone;
Take Thou my heart and make it all Thine own.
Purge me from sin, O Lord, I now implore,
Wash me and keep me Thine forevermore.
2 More like the Master is my daily prayer;
More strength to carry crosses I must bear;
More earnest effort to bring His kingdom in,
More of His Spirit, the wanderer to win. (Refrain)
3 More like the Master I would live and grow;
More of His love to others I would show;
More self-denial, like His in Galilee,
More like the Master I long to ever be. (Refrain) Topics: Christ Example; Dedication of Life; Invitation to Consecration Scripture: 2 Peter 1:4 Languages: English Tune Title: HANFORD
