Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;

Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

At the impulse of Thy love;

Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee

Not a mite would I withhold;

Every power as Thou shalt choose.

It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart; it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne.

Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee. Amen
