1. Take my life, and let it be
   Consecrated, Lord, to thee;
   Take my hands, and let them move
   At the impulse of thy love,
   At the impulse of thy love,
   
2. Take my voice, and let me sing,
   Al ways, only, for my King.
   Take my lips, and let them be
   Filled with messages from thee,
   Filled with messages from thee.
   
3. 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,
   
4. 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,
   
5. 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. Amen.
