Havergal Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,200 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession First Line: Take my life, and let it be 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, 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, 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 ev'ry pow'r as Thou shalt choose, 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, 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!

My Soul, Be on Thy Guard

Author: George Heath Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,364 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession Lyrics: 1 My soul, be on thy guard; ten thousand foes arise; the hosts of sin are pressing hard to draw thee from the skies. 2 O watch, and fight, and pray; 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.

All That I Am I Owe to Thee

Hymnal: Hymns to the Living God #245 (2017) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Submission and Profession Lyrics: 1 All that I am I owe to Thee; Thy wisdom, Lord, has fashioned me. I give my Maker thankful praise, whose wondrous works my soul amaze. 2 Ere into being I was brought, Thine eye did see, and in Thy thought my life in all its perfect plan was ordered ere my days began. 3 Thy thoughts, O God, how manifold, more precious unto me than gold! I muse on their infinity, awaking I am still with Thee. 4 The wicked Thou wilt surely slay; from me let sinners turn away. They speak against the Name divine; I count God's enemies as mine. 5 Search me, O God, my heart discern; try me, my inmost thought to learn; and lead me, if in sin I stray, to choose the everlasting way.
