Take my heart, O Father, take it!

by Anonymous

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 269 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Take my heart, O Father, take it! Make and keep it all thine own; Let thy Spirit melt and break it, This proud heart of sin and stone.

Verse 2

Father, make it pure and lowly, Fond of peace and far from strife; Turning from the paths unholy, Of this vain and sinful life.

Verse 3

Ever let thy grace surround me, Strengthen me with power divine; By thy cords of love that bound me, Make me to be wholly thine.

Verse 4

May the blood of Jesus heal me, And my sins be all forgiven; Holy Spirit, take and seal me, Guide me in the path to heaven.
