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 feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee;
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King,
Always, only, for my King.
3 Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee;
Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold,
Not a mite would I withhold.
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. Scripture: Exodus 32:29 Languages: English Tune Title: HENDON
