Take thou our minds, dear Lord, we humbly pray,
Give us the mind of Christ each passing day,
Teach us to hear the truth that sets us free,
Grant us in all our thoughts to honour 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 sov’reign call.
