Take My Life and Let It Be
Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 7.7.7.7 with refrain Appears in 1,200 hymnals Matching Instances: 46 Scripture: Romans 12:1 Lyrics: 1 Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in endless praise,
let them flow in endless 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,

always, only, for my King.
Take my lips and let them be

not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
every power as thou shalt choose,
every power as thou shalt choose.

it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart– it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne,
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,
ever, only, all for thee.

Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I Go
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 346 hymnals Matching Instances: 14 Scripture: Romans 12:2 Lyrics: 1 Forth in thy name, O Lord, I go,
my daily labor to pursue;
thee, only thee, resolv'd to know,
in all I think or speak or do.
2 The task thy wisdom hath assigned
O let me cheerfully fulfill;
in all my works thy presence find
and prove thy good and perfect will.
3 Preserve me from my calling's snare,
and hide my simple heart above.
Above the thorns of choking care,
the gilded baits of worldly love.
4 Thee I may I set at my right hand,
whose eyes my inmost substance see,
and labor on at thy command,
and offer all my works to thee.
5 Give me to bear thy easy yoke,
and ev'ry moment watch and pray;
and still to things eternal look,
and hasten to thy glorious day;
6 for thee delightfully employ
whate'er thy bounteous grace hath giv'n.
and run my course with even joy,
and closely walk with thee to heav'n.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,996 hymnals Matching Instances: 13 Scripture: Romans 12:1 Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
save in the death of Christ my God;
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.
3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were a present far too small;
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.

Author: Mary D. James Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 247 hymnals Matching Instances: 8 Scripture: Romans 12:1-2 First Line: All for Jesus! All for Jesus! Lyrics: 1 All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
All my being’s ransomed pow'rs:
all my thoughts and words and doings,
all my days and all my hours.
2 Let my hands perform his bidding,
let my feet run in his ways;
let my eyes see Jesus only,
let my lips speak forth his praise.
3 Worldlings prize their gems of beauty,
cling to gilded toys of dust,
boast of wealth and fame and pleasure;
only Jesus will I trust.
4 Since my eyes were fixed on Jesus,
I’ve lost sight of all beside;
so enchained my spirit’s vision,
looking at the Crucified.
5 O what wonder! how amazing!
Jesus, glorious King of kings,
deigns to call me his beloved,
lets me rest beneath His wings.

Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed?
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,304 hymnals Matching Instances: 8 Scripture: Romans 12:1 First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed,
and did my sovereign die?
Would he devote that sacred head
for sinners such as I?
2 Was it for crimes that I have done,
he groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity, grace unknown,
and love beyond degree!
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide,
and shut its glories in,
when Christ, the mighty Maker, died
for his own creature's sin.
4 Thus might I hide my blushing face
while his dear cross appears;
dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
and melt mine eyes to tears.
5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
the debt of love I owe;
here, Lord, I give myself away;
'tis all that I can do.

Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.

Our mutual burdens bear,
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4 When here our pathways part,
We suffer bitter pain;
Yet, one in Christ and one in heart,
We hope to meet again.

And sin we shall be free
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.

of our life's wild, restless sea,
day by day his voice is sounding,
saying, "Christian, follow me."

by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and work and family,
leaving all for his dear sake.

days of work and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these."
4 Jesus calls us; by your mercies,
Savior, may we hear your call,
give our hearts to your obedience,
serve and love you best of all.

To make the dream come true;

All life in Christ made new.

whom still I hold, but cannot see;
my company before is gone,
and I am left alone with thee;
with thee all night I mean to stay,
and wrestle till the break of day.
2 I need not tell thee who I am,
my misery or sin declare;
thyself hast called me by my name;
look on thy hands, and read it there!
But who, I ask thee, who art thou?
Tell me thy name, and tell me now.
3 In vain thou strugglest to get free;
I never will unloose my hold.
Art thou the man that died for me?
The secret of thy love unfold:
wrestling, I will not let thee go,
till I thy name, thy nature know.
4 Yield to me now, for I am weak,
but confident in self-despair;
speak to my heart, in blessings speak,
be conquered by my instant prayer.
Speak, or thou never hence shalt move,
and tell me if thy name is Love!
5 'Tis Love! 'tis Love! Thou diedst for me!
I hear thy whisper in my heart!
The morning breaks, the shadows flee;
pure universal Love thou art:
to me, to all, thy mercies move;
thy nature and thy name is Love. Topics: Lent II Year C; Proper 6 Year C; Proper 13 Year A Used With Tune: DAVID'S HARP

Mold me and make me after thy will,
while I am waiting, yielded and still.
2 Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master, today.
Open mine eyes, my sin show me now,
as in thy presence humbly I bow.
3 Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Wounded and weary, help me, I pray.
Power, all power, surely is thine.
Touch me and heal me, Savior divine.
4 Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Hold o'er my being absolute sway.
Fill with thy Spirit till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me.

Almighty Father of All Things That Be
Author: Ernest E. Dugmore Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 10 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Scripture: Romans 12:1 Lyrics: 1 Almighty father of all things that be,
our life, our work we consecrate to thee,
whose heav'ns declare thy glory from above,
whose earth below is witness to thy love.
2 For well we know this weary, soiled earth
is yet thine own by right of its new birth,
since that great cross upreared on Calvary
redeemed it from its fault and shame to thee.
3 Thine still the changeful beauty of the hills,
the purple valleys flecked with silver rills,
the ocean glist'ning 'neath the golden rays:
they all are thine, and ceaseless speak thy praise.
4 Thou dost the strength to worker's arms impart;
from thee the skilled musician's reasoned art,
the grace of poet's pen or painter's hand,
to teach the loveliness of sea and land.
5 Then grant us, Lord, in all things thee to own,
to dwell within the shadow of thy throne,
to speak and work, to think and live and move
reflecting thine own nature, which is love;
6 that so, by Christ redeemed from sin and shame,
and hallowed by thy Spirit's cleansing flame,
ourselves, our work, and all our powers may be
a sacrifice acceptable to thee. Used With Tune: CHILTON FOLIAT

Author: George Croly, 1780-1860 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Scripture: Romans 12:1-2 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart,
free it from sin, through all its pulses move.
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as you are,
and make me love you as I ought to love.
2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
no sudden rending of the veil of clay,
no angel visitant, no opening skies,
but take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Did you not bid us love you, God and King,
love you with all our heart and strength and mind?
I see your cross--there teach my heart to cling.
O let me seek you and O let me find!
4 Teach me to feel that you are always nigh;
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
5 Teach me to love you as your angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame:
the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove,
my heart an altar, and your love the flame. Used With Tune: MORECAMBE

one holy light, one heavenly flame. Topics: God in majesty; Light Used With Tune: OMBERSLEY
