Take my life and let it be

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, and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love

Take my feet, and let them be

Swift and beautiful for Thee


Take my voice, and let me sing

Always, only, for my King

Take my lips, and let them be

Filled with messages from Thee


Take my silver and my gold

Not a mite would I withhold

Take my intellect, and use

Every power as Thou shalt choose


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


Take my love; my Lord, I pour

At Thy feet its treasure store

Take myself, and I will be

Ever, only, all for Thee
