More like the Master
I would ever be,
More of His meekness,
more humility;
More zeal to labor,
more courage to be true,
More consecration
for work He bids me do.
Take Thou my heart,
I would be Thine alone;
Take Thou my heart,
and make it all Thine own.
Purge me from sin,
O Lord, I now implore,
Wash me and keep me
Thine forevermore.
More like the Master
is my daily prayer;
More strength to carry crosses
I must bear;
More earnest effort
to bring His kingdom in;
More of His Spirit,
the wanderer to win.
Take Thou my heart,
I would be Thine alone;
Take Thou my heart,
and make it all Thine own.
Purge me from sin,
O Lord, I now implore,
Wash me and keep me
Thine forevermore.
More like the Master
I would live and grow;
More of His love to others
I would show;
More self denial,
like His in Galilee,
More like the Master
I long to ever be.
Take Thou my heart,
I would be Thine alone;
Take Thou my heart,
and make it all Thine own.
Purge me from sin,
O Lord, I now implore,
Wash me and keep me
Thine forevermore.
