Take My Life And Let It Be

Tune: Mozart · Meter 7 7 7 7

1 Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee. Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise.

2 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.

3 Take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King. Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from Thee.

4 Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold. Take my intellect, and use every pow'r as Thou shalt choose.

5 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.
