Take Thou our minds, dear Lord,
we humbly pray,
Give us the mind of Christ
each passing day;
Teach us to know
the truth that sets us free;
Grant us in all
our thoughts to honor Thee.
Take Thou our hearts, O Christ—
they are Thine own;
Come Thou within our souls
and claim Thy throne;
Help us to shed abroad
Thy deathless love;
Use us to make the earth
like heaven above.
Take Thou our wills, Most High!
Hold Thou full sway;
Have in our inmost souls
Thy perfect way;
Guard Thou each sacred hour
from selfish ease;
Guide Thou our ordered lives
as Thou dost please.
Take Thou ourselves, O Lord,
heart, mind, and will;
Through our surrendered souls
Thy plans fulfill.
We yield ourselves to Thee—
time, talents, all;
We hear, and henceforth heed,
Thy sovereign call.
