Author: Frances Ridley Havergal (1836-79) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #525 (1986) Topics: The life of holiness Consecration and service Lyrics: 1 Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
2 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.
3 Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from thee.
4 Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as thou shalt choose.
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.
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.
