Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,200 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Christian Service; Daily Living; Ministry Ordinations Lyrics: 1 Take my life, and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in ceaseless 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.
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.
4 Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold
Take my intellect, and use
ev'ry pow'r 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.
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.

Till sin's fierce war shall cease,
And Holiness shall whisper
The sweet amen of peace;
For not with swords loud clashing,
Nor roll of stirring drums,
But deeds of love and mercy,
The heav'nly kingdom comes.

We follow, not with fears;
For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er thy face appears;
Thy cross is lifted o'er us;
We journey in its light:
The crown awaits the conquest;
Lead on, O God of might.

To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven. Used With Tune: STATE STREET

Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.5 D Appears in 447 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Christian Service; Conflict With Sin; Ministry Ordinations Lyrics: 1 Who is on the Lord's side? Who will serve the King?
Who will be his helpers, other lives to bring?
Who will leave the world's side? Who will face the foe?
Who is on the Lord's side? Who for him will go?
By thy call of mercy, by thy grace divine,
we are on the Lord's side, Savior, we are thine.
2 Not for weight of glory, not for crown and palm,
enter we the army, raise the warrior psalm;
but for Love that claimeth lives for whom he died:
he whom Jesus nameth must be on his side.
By thy love constraining, by thy grace divine,
we are on the Lord's side, Savior, we are thine.
3 Jesus, thou has bought us, not with gold or gem,
but with thine own life-blood for thy diadem:
with thy blessing filling each who comes to thee,
thou hast made us willing, thou has made us free.
By thy grand redemption, by thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side, Savior, we are thine.
4 Fierce may be the conflict, strong may be the foe,
but the King's own army none can overthrow:
round his standard ranging, vict'ry is secure;
for his truth unchanging makes the triumph sure.
Joyfully enlisting by thy grace divine,
we are on the Lord's side, Savior, we are thine.

Go, Labor On
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 439 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Christian Service; Christ Bridegroom; Christ Example of; Ministry Ordinations Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on: spend, and be spent,
your joy to do the Father's will;
it is the way the Master went;
should not the servant tread it still?
2 Go, labor on: 'tis not for naught;
your earthly loss is heav'nly gain;
men heed you, love you, praise you not;
the Master praises - what are men?
3 Go, labor on: enough while here
if he shall praise you, if he deign
your willing heart to mark and cheer:
no toil for him shall be in vain.
4 Go, labor on while it is day:
the world's dark night is hast'ning on.
Speed, speed your work, cast sloth away;
it is not thus that souls are won.
5 Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray;
be wise the erring soul to win;
go forth into the world's highway,
compel the wand'rer to come in.
6 Toil on, and in your toil rejoice;
for toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shall you hear the Bridegroom's voice,
the midnight peal, "Behold, I come."
Scripture: John 9:4 Used With Tune: PENTECOST

Servant of God, Well Done
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 195 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Death and Life Eternal; Ministry First Line: Servant of God, well done! Lyrics: 1 "Servant of God, well done!
Rest from thy loved employ;
The battle fought, the victory won,
Enter thy master’s joy."
2 The voice at midnight came,
He started up to hear;
A mortal arrow pierced his frame;
He fell, but felt no fear.
3 His sword was in his hand,
Still warm with recent fight,
Ready that moment, at command,
Through rock and steel to smite.
4 Bent on such glorious toils,
The world to him was loss,
Yet all his trophies, all his spoils,
He hung upon the cross.
5 At midnight came the cry,
"To meet thy God prepare!"
He woke and caught his Captain's eye,
Then strong in faith and prayer.
6 His spirit with a bound,
Left its encumbering clay;
His tent at sunrise on the ground,
A darkened ruin lay.
7 The pains of death are past,
Labor and sorrow cease;
And life’s long warfare closed at last,
His soul is found in peace.
8 Soldier of Christ, well done!
Praise be thy new employ;
And while eternal ages run
Rest in thy Savior’s joy. Scripture: Matthew 25:34 Used With Tune: DOVER

on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
save in the death of Christ, my God:
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.
3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were a present far too small:
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.
1 Quand je me tourne vers le croix
où Christ expire su le bois
mon coeur blessé rempli du deuil,
prend en dégoût mon fol orgueil.
2 Qui donc pourrait calmer ce coeur
hormis la crois de mon Sauveur?
Tous mes plaisirs, mes vains désirs,
je veux, ô Christ, te les offrir.
3 Oh vois, des mains, de son côté,
du front d'épines couronné,
douleur, angoisse, amour mêlés,
descendre pour nous racheter.
4 Si je t'offrais le monde entier
ce don serait pris es pitié.
Amour si grand, si pur, si doux
veut âme, corps, mon coeur, mon tout!
