| Composer: | Isaac B. Woodbury |
1 Take my heart, O Father! take it;
Make and keep it all Thine own;
Let Thy Spirit melt and break it--
This proud heart of sin and stone.
2 Father, make me pure and lowly,
Fond of peace and far from strife;
Turning from the paths unholy
Of this vain and sinful life.
3 Ever let Thy grace surround me,
Strengthen me with power divine,
Till Thy cords of love have bound me:
Make me to be wholly Thine.
4 May the blood of Jesus heal me,
And my sins be all forgiven;
Holy Spirit, take and seal me,
Guide me in the path of heaven.
