469. Take My Life and Let It Be

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
Ev'ry pow'r 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.
