Lyrics:

TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE, by Frances R. Havergal
1 Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in endless praise,
let them flow in endless praise.

2 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,
swift and beautiful for thee.

3 Take my voice and let me sing
always, only, for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from thee,
filled with messages from thee.

4 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.

5 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.

6 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. 

O JESUS, I HAVE PROMISED, by John Ernest Bode
1 O Jesus, I have promised 
To serve thee to the end; 
Be thou forever near me, 
My Master and my friend;
I shall not fear the battle 
If thou art by my side, 
Nor wander from the pathway 
If thou wilt be my guide. 

2 O let me feel thee near me! 
The world is ever near: 
I see the sights that dazzle, 
The tempting sounds I hear. 
My foes are ever near me, 
Around me and within; 
But, Jesus, draw thou nearer, 
And shield my soul from sin. 

3 O let me hear thee speaking 
In accents clear and still, 
Above the storms of passion, 
The murmurs of self-will. 
O speak to reassure me, 
To hasten or control; 
O speak, and make me listen, 
Thou guardian of my soul.

4 O Jesus, thou hast promised 
To all who follow thee
That where thou art in glory 
There shall thy servant be. 
And, Jesus, I have promised 
To serve thee to the end; 
O give me grace to follow,
My Master and my friend.
