- 1Take me, O my Father, take me!
- Take me, save me, through thy Son;
- That which thou wouldst have me, make me,
- Let thy will in me be done.
- Long from thee my footsteps straying,
- Thorny proved the way I trod;
- Weary come I now, and praying--
- Take me to thy love, my God!
- 2Fruitless years with grief recalling,
- Humbly I confess my sin;
- At thy feet, O Father, falling,
- To thy household take me in.
- Freely now to thee I proffer
- This relenting heart of mine;
- Freely life and soul I offer--
- Gift unworthy love like thine.
- 3Once the world's Redeemer, dying,
- Bare our sins upon the tree;
- On that sacrifice relying,
- Now I look in hope to thee:
- Father, take me! all forgiving,
- Fold me to thy loving breast;
- In thy love for ever living,
- I must be for ever blest!
