404. Take My Life, O Lord, Renew

1 Take my life, O Lord, renew,
Consecrate my heart to you;
Take my moments and my days;
Let them sing your ceaseless praise.

2 Take my hands and let them do
Works that show my love for you;
Take my feet and lead their way,
Never let them go astray.

3 Take my voice and let me sing
Praises to my Savior King;
Take my lips and keep them true,
Filled with messages from you.

4 Take my silver and my gold,
All is yours a thousand-fold;
Take my intellect, and use
Ev'ry pow'r as you shall choose.

5 Make my will your holy shrine,
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is your own;
It shall be your royal throne.

6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At your feet its treasure store;
Take my self, Lord, let me be
Yours alone eternally.
