consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
let them flow in ceaseless praise,
let them flow in ceaseless praise.

at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be

it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own;

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.

Come, Thou Fount
Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,203 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession First Line: Come, Thou Fount of every blessing Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Fount of every blessing;
tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above;
praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
mount of Thy redeeming love.
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer:
hither by Thy help I'm come,
and I hope, by Thy good pleasure
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger
wand'ring from the fold of God.
He, to rescue me from danger,
interposed His precious blood.
3 Oh to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wand'ring heart to Thee;
prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart, O take and seal it;
seal it for Thy courts above! Used With Tune: NETTLETON

ten thousand foes arise;
the hosts of sin are pressing hard
to draw thee from the skies.

the battle ne'er give o'er;
renew it boldly every day,
and help divine implore.
3 Ne'er think the vict'ry won,
nor once at ease sit down;
the arduous work will not be done
till thou hast got the crown.
4 Fight on, my soul, till death
shall bring thee to my God;
He'll take thee, at thy parting breath,
up to His rest above. Used With Tune: BOYLSTON

days of toil and hours of ease,
still He calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these."

give our hearts to Thine obedience,
serve and love Thee best of all. Used With Tune: PLEADING SAVIOR

songs of praises,
I will ever give to Thee;
I will ever give to Thee. Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

from a long-felt grief–
when oppressed by new temptations,
Lord, increase and perfect patience.
Show us that bright shore
where we weep no more.

Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
take all my guilt away;
O let me from this day
be wholly Thine.

strength to my fainting heart,
my zeal inspire;
as Thou hast died for me,
O may my love to Thee
pure, warm, and changeless be,
a living fire.
3 While life’s dark maze I tread,
and griefs around me spread,
be Thou my Guide;
bid darkness turn to day,
wipe sorrow’s tears away,
nor let me ever stray
from Thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
when death’s cold, sullen stream
shall o'er me roll,
blest Savior, then in love,
fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
a ransomed soul. Used With Tune: OLIVET

Am I a Soldier of the Cross
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,941 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
a foll'wer of the Lamb,
and shall I fear to own His cause,
or blush to speak His name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
on flow'ry beds of ease,
while others fought to win the prize,
and sailed thro' bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
to help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign;
increase my courage, Lord!
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
supported by Thy word.
5 The saints in all this glorious war
shall conquer, though they die;
they see the triumph from afar
by faith's discerning eye.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
and all Thine armies shine
in robes of vict'ry thro' the skies,
the glory shall be Thine. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON
