1 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 heart, it is thine own; it shall be thy royal throne.
2 Take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King; 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 myself, and I will be ever, only, all for thee.
