- 1More like the MasterI 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,(Take my heart, O take my heart,)I would be Thine alone;(I would be Thine alone;)Take Thou my heart(Take my heart, O take my heart) and make it all Thine own;(and make it all Thine own;)
- 2Purge me from sin,(Purge Thou me from ev‘ry sin,)O Lord, I now implore,(O Lord, I now implore,)Wash me and keep me(Wash and keep, O wash and keep me)Thine forevermore.(Thine forevermore.)Take Thou my heart,(Take my heart, O take my heart,)I would be Thine alone;(I would be Thine alone;)Take Thou my heart(Take my heart, O take my heart) and make it all Thine own;(and make it all Thine own;)
- 3More like the Master is my daily prayer;More strength to carry crosses I must bear;More earnest effortHis kingdom to increase;More of His Spirit, the wanderer to win.Take Thou my heart,(Take my heart, O take my heart,)I would be Thine alone;(I would be Thine alone;)Take Thou my heart(Take my heart, O take my heart) and make it all Thine own;(and make it all Thine own;)
- 4More like the MasterI would live and grow;More of His love to others I would show;More self denial, like His in Galilee,More like the MasterI long to ever be.Take Thou my heart,(Take my heart, O take my heart,)I would be Thine alone;(I would be Thine alone;)Take Thou my heart(Take my heart, O take my heart) and make it all Thine own;(and make it all Thine own;)
