Lord, take my heart, my wandering heart,
To Thee its powers belong;
Cast out each thought of unbelief,
And fill me now with song.

Refrain

Since Thou to purchase life for me
Thy precious blood hast shed,
Take all I have for­ev­er dear,
But give Thy­self instead.

Take from my soul its dross, refine,
Its every sin remove;
Cast out the idols I have made,
And fill me with Thy love.

Refrain

Take Thou my days and let my hours
Be spent alone for Thee;
O give me strength my cross to bear,
Whate’er that cross may be.

Refrain

And when before Thy throne I stand,
My toil and labor o’er,
I’ll strike the harp Thy hand has tuned,
And praise Thee ev­er­more.
