Take my life, and let it be

Author: F. R. Havergal Appears in 1,283 hymnals Topics: General Home and Personal Use 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. 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. 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. Take my love; my Lord, I pour At Thy feet its treasure store: Take myself, and I will be, Ever, only, all, for Thee. Used With Tune: IVES

Behold us, Lord, a little space

Author: J. Ellerton Appears in 125 hymnals Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Behold us, Lord, a little space From daily tasks set free, And met within Thy holy place To rest awhile with Thee. 2 Around us rolls the ceaseless tide Of business, toil, and care; And scarcely can we turn aside For one brief hour of prayer. 3 Yet these are not the only walls Wherein Thy mayst be sought; On homeliest work Thy blessing falls In truth and patience wrought. 4 Thine is the loom, the forge, the mart, The wealth of land and sea, The worlds of science and of art, Revealed and ruled by Thee. 5 Then let us prove our heavenly birth, In all we do and know; And claim the kingdom of the earth For Thee and not Thy foe. 6 Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought As Thou wouldst have it done, And prayer, by Thee inspired and taught, Itself with work be one.

When, streaming from the eastern skies

Author: Wm.

Teach me Thy precepts, all divine, And be Thy great example mine. 3 When each day's scenes and labors close, And wearied nature seeks repose, With pardoning mercy richly blest, Guard me, my Saviour, while I rest; And as each morning sun shall rise, Oh, lead me onward to the skies! 4 And at my life's last setting sun, My conflicts o'er, my labors done, Jesus, Thy heavenly radiance shed, To cheer and bless my dying bed; And, from death's gloom my spirit raise, To see Thy face and sing Thy praise.
