Take Thou Our Minds, Dear Lord (EN 4824)

EN 4824 Take Thou Our Minds, Dear Lord

1Cor.2.16

Versi Version 1

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.
