I clasp the hand of Love divine

lyricist: Albert Benjamin Simpson
Composer: C. H. Forrest

I clasp the hand of Love divine

I claim the gracious promise mine

And add to His my countersign

“I take”—“He undertakes.”

I take Thee

blessed Lord

I give myself to Thee

And Thou

according to Thy word

Dost undertake for me.

I take salvation full and free

Through Him who gave His life for me

He undertakes my all to be

“I take”—“He undertakes.”

I take Him as my holiness

My spirit’s spotless

heavenly dress

I take the Lord

my righteousness

“I take”—“He undertakes.”

I take the promised Holy Ghost

I take the power of Pentecost

To fill me to the uttermost

“I take”—“He undertakes.”

I take Him for this mortal frame

I take my healing through His Name

And all His risen life I claim

“I take”—“He undertakes.”

I simply take Him at His word

I praise Him that my prayer is heard

And claim my answer from the Lord

“I take”—“He undertakes.”
