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.
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.
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.
4
Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose,
Every power as Thou shalt choose.
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.
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.

Ditto to Victor Nwaiwu (Rivers, Nigeria) and Ruth Odondi (Nairobi, Kenya). I attend church in Newark, DE where there are some twenty languages spoken; some of the people are from Kenya, Nigeria, India, England, etc. Perhaps it's from England that this wonderful hymn was spread. One way or the other, surely God is everywhere present, very much alive, and in control. Thanks to Hymnal.net, I not only got the words to the hymn but the music.

A truly inspired song that calls for reverence and submission to Him Who has called us unto Himself, to the praise, glory and honour of His Mighty Name, even the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

It's a hymn of total submission and dedication to the Lord Jesus. Each time I sing it, my heart fills with Joy.

Ochtrup, Munsterland, NRW

I am 71yrs of age, and remember when I was a child in South Africa, when we had Baptism, which was behind the Altar, the first time I ever saw People being baptised, I remember this hymn being sung. So I associate this Hymn and Baptism together. Because it was so to me as a child fascinating what happened. Glory to God. Who Is so Great. I marvel at His Goodness and Faithfulness everyday. And His Promises which is till the end of Time. Amen.

A wonderful spiritual song which reminds us who we are. A great song of submission at the hands of our FATHER.

Revised version:

1. Take my life, and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;

Take my moments and my days,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Chorus:

For me, You were mocked and crucified;

For me, willingly You bled and died.

Lord, my life and love I willingly outpour

And will serve You ever more.

2. Take my hands and feet, I pray,

For Thy work, to run Thy way.

Take my lips that I may sound

Word of truth to those around.

3. Take my silver and my gold;

Not a mite would I withhold;

Take my intellect, and use

Every power as Thou shalt choose.

4. Make my heart and will Thine own;

They belong to Thee alone.

Take my love; my Lord, I pour

At Thy feet its treasure-store.

5. Take me, Lord, till I've become

Ever joined to Thee as one.

Take myself, and I will be

Ever, only, all for Thee.
