Take my life and let it be
[Modernised Version]1 Take my life and let it be
all you purpose, Lord, for me;
consecrate my passing days,
let them flow in ceaseless praise.
2 Take my hands, and let them move
at the impulse of your love;
take my feet, and let them run
with the news of victory won.
3 Take my voice, and let me sing
always, only, for my King;
take my lips, let them proclaim
all the beauty of your name.
4 Take my wealth all I possess,
make me rich in faithfulness;
take my mind that I may use
every power as you shall choose.
5 Take my motives and my will,
all your purpose to fulfil;
take my heart it is your own,
it shall be your royal throne.
6 Take my love my Lord, I pour
at your feet its treasure-store;
take myself, and I will be
yours for all eternity.
