Take My Life and Let It Be

Words by Frances Ridley Havergal, 18746 verses

Organ, every verse, the words light up as you sing. Tune: Mozart.

Take my life and let it beConsecrated, Lord, to Thee;Take my moments and my days,Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Take my hands and let them moveAt the impulse of Thy love;Take my feet and let them beSwift and beautiful for Thee.

Take my voice and let me singAlways, only, for my King;Take my lips and let them beFilled with messages from Thee.

Take my silver and my gold,Not a mite would I withhold;Take my intellect and useEvery 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 pourAt Thy feet its treasure-store;Take myself, and I will beEver, only, all for Thee.
