Take My Life and Let It Be

Words: Frances Ridley Havergal · Music: H. A. César Malan, Lowell Mason · 1874

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

Verse 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,
swift and beautiful for thee.

Verse 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,
filled with messages from thee.

Verse 4
Take my silver and my gold—
not a mite would I withhold;
take my intellect and use
ev'ry pow'r as thou shalt choose,
ev'ry pow'r as thou shalt choose.

Verse 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,
it shall be thy royal throne.

Verse 6
Take my love—my Lord, I pour
at thy feet its treasure store;
take myself, and I will be
ever, only all for thee,
ever, only all for thee.
