Take Me, O My Father, Take Me

Take me

O my Fa­ther

take me;

Take me

save me

through Thy Son;

That which Thou wouldst have me

make me

Let Thy will in me be done.

Long from Thee my foot­steps stray­ing

Thorny proved the way I trod;

Weary come I now

and pray­ing

Take me to Thy love

my God.

Fruitless years with grief re­call­ing

Humbly I con­fess my sin;

At Thy feet

O Fa­ther

fall­ing

To Thy house­hold take me in.

Freely now to Thee I prof­fer

This re­lent­ing heart of mine;

Freely life and love I of­fer

Gift un­wor­thy love like Thine.

Once the world’s Re­deem­er

dy­ing

Bore our sins up­on the tree;

On that sac­ri­fice re­ly­ing

Now I look in hope to Thee:

Father

take me; all for­giv­ing

Fold me to Thy lov­ing breast;

In Thy love for­ev­er liv­ing

I must be for­ev­er blest.
