The Christian’s Privilege, Consecration

Chapter 2

Consecration

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 feet and let them be

Swift and beautiful for Thee.


Take my voice, and let me sing

Always, only, for my King;

Take my lips, and let them be

Filled with messages from Thee.


Take my silver and my gold;

Not a mite would I withhold;

Take my intellect, and use

Ev’ry power as Thou shalt choose.


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.


Take my love: my Lord, I pour

At Thy feet its treasure-store,

Take myself, and I will be

Ever, only, all for Thee.

Frances R. Havergal
