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.

I am humbled by this song. It empties me before my Lord. Lord make me the vessel of honor for You to use. Amen.

Beautiful song to a beautiful Saviour.

He woke me up this morning and hinted that He wanted the guitar. And this is the main song I sang to Him in the bush, under the stars.

It is a love song.

Thanks for making me to pray well. God bless you.

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.

Wonderful song. It's a prayerful song and I love it.

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.
