Analyze: Take My Life And Let It Be

by von Hausmann, Julie Katharina (1826-1901), tr. Horstmann, Julius Herman Edward (1869-1954)

1. Take my life, and let it be con- se- cra- ted, Lord, to Thee. Take my mo- ments and my days; let them flow in cease- less praise.

2. Take my hands, and let them move at the im- pulse of Thy love. Take my feet, and let them be swift and beau- ti- ful for Thee.

3. Take my voice, and let me sing al- ways, on- ly, for my King. Take my lips, and let them be filled with mess- a- ges from Thee.

4. Take my sil- ver and my gold; not a mite would I with- hold. Take my in- tell- ect, and use e- very pow'r as Thou shalt choose.

5. Take my will, and make it Thine; it shall be no long- er mine. Take my heart, it is Thine own; it shall be Thy ro- yal throne.
