608. Take My Life and Let It Be

1 Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, my feet, my love;
at thine impulse let them move.
Take my voice and let me sing
always, only, for my King.

2 Take my silver and my gold;
naught of thine would I withhold.
Take my heart, my mind, my will:
let them be thy servants still.
Take my love; my Lord, I pour
at thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee.

Amen.
