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.
Father, make me pure and lowly,
Fond of peace and far from strife;
Turning from the paths unholy
Of this vain and sinful life.
Ever let Thy grace surround me,
Strengthen me with power divine,
Till Thy cords of love have bound me;
Make me to be wholly Thine.
May the blood of Jesus heal me
And my sins be all forgiven;
Holy Spirit, take and seal me,
Guide me in the path of Heaven.
---Alternative verses---
Father, make it pure and lowly,
Fond of peace and far from strife;
Turning from the paths unholy
Of this vain and sinful life.
Ever let Thy grace surround it,
Strengthen it with power divine,
Till Thy cords of love have bound it;
Make it to be wholly Thine.
May the blood of Jesus heal it
And its sins be all forgiven;
Holy Spirit, take and seal it,
Guide it in the path to Heaven.
