I clasp the hand of Love divine

E576
1
I clasp the hand of Love divine,
I claim the gracious promise mine,
And add to His my countersign,
  "I take"—"He undertakes."
 
I take Thee, blessed Lord,
  I give myself to Thee,
And Thou, according to Thy word,
    Dost undertake for me.
2
I take salvation full and free,
Through Him who gave His life for me,
He undertakes my all to be,
  "I take"—"He undertakes."
3
I take Him as my holiness,
My spirit's spotless, heavenly dress,
I take the Lord, my righteousness,
  "I take"—"He undertakes."
4
I take the promised Holy Ghost,
I take the power of Pentecost,
To fill me to the uttermost,
  "I take"—"He undertakes."
5
I take Him for this mortal frame,
I take my healing through His Name,
And all His risen life I claim,
  "I take"—"He undertakes."
6
I simply take Him at His word,
I praise Him that my prayer is heard,
And claim my answer from the Lord,
  "I take"—"He undertakes."

I believe this song is based on Isaiah 38:14b "Lord, I am oppressed; Undertake for me." (KJV, NKJV, Darby)
