consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;

at the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be
swift and beautiful for thee,
swift and beautiful for thee.

unto God my praise I bring.
Take my lips, and let them be
filled with messages from thee,
filled with messages from thee.

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. Languages: English Tune Title: HENDON

speak to our fearful hearts by conflict rent;

who by our own false hopes and aims are spent.

bringing to hungry souls the bread of life:
still let your Spirit unto us be given
to heal earth's wounds and end our bitter strife.

showing to wandering souls the path of light:
walk now beside us lest the tempting byways
lure us away from you to endless night.

from death and dark despair, from sin and guilt:
we render back the love your mercy gave us;
take now our lives and use them as you will.

who by this sign did conquer grief and pain:
we would be faithful to your gospel glorious;
you are our Lord, and you forever reign! Languages: English Tune Title: VICAR

Dear Lord, and Father of Mankind (Dear God, Embracing Humankind)
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #594 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Topics: Life of Discipleship Prayer and Guidance; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Prayer and Guidance First Line: Dear Lord, and Father of mankind Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord, and Father of mankind*,
forgive our foolish ways!
Reclothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word,
rise up and follow thee.
3 O sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love!
4 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace.
5 Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm.

my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
may brighter, fairer be.

I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain,
that morn shall tearless be.
4 O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red
life that shall endless be. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MARGARET

from your rich and endless store,
nature's wonder, Jesus' wisdom,
costly cross, grave's shattered door:
gifted by you, we turn to you,
offering up ourselves in praise;
thankful song shall rise forever,
gracious donor of our days.

toward the goals of Christ, your Son:
all at peace in health and freedom,
races joined, the church made one.
Now direct our daily labor,
lest we strive for self alone;
born with talents, make us servants
fit to answer at Your throne.
3 Treasure too you have entrusted,
gain through powers your grace conferred;
ours to use for home and kindred,
and to spread the gospel Word.
Open wide our hands, in sharing,
as we heed Christ's ageless call,
healing, teaching, and reclaiming,
serving you by loving all. Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON

bearing on Calvary my sin and disgrace;
such love constrains me to answer his call,
follow his leading, and give him my all. [Refrain]

my dearest treasure--the light of his smile;
seeking the lost ones he died to redeem,
bringing the weary to find rest in him. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: LIVING FOR JESUS
