Take my life, and let it be (with chorus)

lyricist: Frances Ridley Havergal

Take my life

and let it be

Consecrated

Lord

to Thee;

Take my moments and my days

Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

For me

You were mocked and crucified;

For me

willingly You bled and died.

Lord

my life and love I willingly outpour

And will serve You evermore.

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.

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.

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.
