419. Take My Life and Let It Be

1 Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
At the impulse of Thy love.

2 Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee;
Take my voice and let me sing
Always. only,for my King;
Always. only,for my King.

3 Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages for Thee;
Take my silver and my gold -
Not a mite would I withhold,
Not a mite would I withhold.

4 Take my love, my God, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store;
Take myself - and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee;
Ever, only, all for Thee.
