Wednesday Reflection
This week we reflect on the words of a hymn (CH4 no. 502) written by Frances Ridley Havergal over 150 years ago. This is the last of our summer postings of a favourite hymn, chosen by a member of the congregation. It is well known to most of us through the years and is still fresh each time we sing the words.
It is especially relevant as we move forward into September and the restart of many different church events after the quieter summer months.
Take my life, Lord, let it be
consecrated, glad, and free;
take my moments and my days,
let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, and let them move
at the impulse of your love;
take my feet, that I may run
bearing news of Christ your Son.
Take my voice, and let me sing
always, only, for my King;
take my intellect and use
every power as you shall choose.
Take my will – your will be done,
may my will and yours be one;
take my heart – it is your own,
it shall be your royal throne.
Take my love – my Lord, I pour
at your feet its treasure store;
take myself, and I will be
all for you, eternally.
