Verse 1

I gave my life for thee,
My precious blood I shed,
That thou mightst ransomed be,
And quickened from the dead;
I gave, I gave my life for thee,
What hast thou given for me?

Verse 2

My Father’s house of light,
My glory-circled throne,
I left for earthly night,
For wand’rings sad and lone;
I left, I left it all for thee,
Hast thou left aught for me?

Verse 3

I suffered much for thee,
More than thy tongue can tell,
Of bitterest agony,
To rescue thee from hell;
I’ve borne, I’ve borne it all for thee,
What hast thou borne for me?

Verse 4

And I have brought to thee,
Down from my home above,
Salvation full and free,
My pardon and my love;
I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee,
What hast thou brought to me?

Verse 1

Welcome, O Savior! to my heart;
Possess thine humble throne;
Bid every rival hence depart,
And claim me for thine own.

Verse 2

The world and Satan I forsake,--
To thee I all resign;
My longing heart, O Jesus! take,
And make it all divine.

Verse 3

Oh! may I never turn aside,
Nor from thy bosom flee;
Let nothing here my heart divide--
I give it all to thee.

Verse 1

My God! accept my heart this day,
And make it always thine,
That I from thee no more may stray,
No more from thee decline.

Verse 2

Before the cross of him who died,
Behold I prostrate fall;
Let every sin be crucified;
Let Christ be All in All.

Verse 3

May the dear blood, once shed for me,
My blest atonement prove,
That I, from first to last, may be
The purchase of thy love.

Verse 4

Let every thought, and work, and word,
To thee be ever given;
Then life shall be thy service, Lord!
And death the gate of heaven.

Verse 1

In thy service will I ever,
Jesus, my Redeemer, stay;
Nothing me from thee shall sever,
Gladly would I go thy way.
Yes, Lord Jesus, I am ever
Thine in sorrow and in joy;
Death the union shall not sever,
Nor eternity destroy.

Verse 2

Let thy light on me be shining
When the day is almost gone,
When the evening is declining,
And the night is drawing on:
Bless me, oh, my Savior! laying
Thy hands on my weary head;
“Here thy day is ended,” saying,
“Yonder live the faithful dead.”

Verse 3

Stay beside me, when the stillness
And the icy touch of death
Fill my trembling soul with chillness,
Like the morning’s frosty breath;
As my failing eyes grow dimmer,
Let my spirit grow more bright,
As I see the first faint glimmer
Of the everlasting light.

Verse 1

Take me, oh, my Father! take me,
Take me, save me, through thy Son;
That which thou would’st have me, make me,
Let thy will in me be done.

Verse 2

Long from thee my footsteps straying,
Thorny proved the way I trod;
Weary come I now, and praying--
Take me to thy love, my God!

Verse 3

Fruitless years with grief recalling,
Humbly I confess my sin;
At thy feet, O Father! falling,
To thy household take me in.

Verse 4

Freely now to thee I proffer
This relenting heart of mine;
Freely, life and soul I offer--
Gift unworthy love like thine.

Verse 5

Once the world’s Redeemer dying,
Bore our sins upon the tree;
On that sacrifice relying,
Now I look in hope to thee.

Verse 6

Father! take me; all forgiving,
Fold me to thy loving breast;
In thy hope forever living,
I must be forever blest!

Verse 1

Take my heart, dear Jesus,
Make it all thine own,
Let thy Holy Spirit
Break this heart of stone,
And make me all thine own.

Refrain

Take my heart, and let it be
Ev’ry moment more like thee;
At thy feet I bow;
Take my heart just now,
And make me all thine own.

Verse 2

Take my heart, dear Jesus,
Make it pure and clean;
Let thy blood, still flowing,
Wash away my sin,
And make me pure and clean.

Verse 3

Take my heart, dear Jesus,
Make it white as snow;
May the cleansing fountain,
May the precious flow,
Still keep me white as snow.

Verse 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.

Refrain

Wash me in the Savior’s precious blood, the precious blood,
Cleanse me in its purifying flood, the healing flood,
Lord, I give to thee my life and all, to be
Thine, henceforth, eternally.

Verse 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

Verse 3

Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages for thee;
Take my silver and my gold--
Not a mite would I withhold.

Verse 4

Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise;
Take my intellect, and use
Ev’ry pow’r as thou shalt choose.

Verse 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.

Verse 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!

Verse 1

I gave my life for thee,
My precious blood I shed,
That thou mightst ransomed be,
And quickened from the dead;
I gave, I gave my life for thee,
What hast thou given for me?

Verse 2

My Father’s house of light,
My glory-circled throne,
I left for earthly night,
For wand’rings sad and lone;
I left, I left it all for thee,
Hast thou left aught for me?

I suffered much for thee,
More than thy tongue can tell,
Of bitterest agony,
To rescue thee from hell;
I’ve borne, I’ve borne it all for thee,
What hast thou borne for me?

And I have brought to thee,
Down from my home above,
Salvation full and free,
My pardon and my love;
I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee,
What hast thou brought to me?
