Take My Life (Alternate Version)

Spanish title: "Que Mi Vida Entera Este"

1. Take my life, and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;

Take my hands, and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love

Chorus: 

Wash me in the blood of Jesus Christ,

Wash me clean from all iniquity;

I give you my whole life, make it thine oh Lord

Thine for all eternity

2 Take my hands and let them move

at the impulse of thy love.

Take my feet and let them be

swift and beautiful for thee

3. Take my lips, and let them be

Filled with messages from Thee.

Take my silver and my gold:

Not a mite would I withhold

4. Take my time, and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;

May my mind and all my strength

be used for your honor, Lord

5. Take my will, and make it Thine,

It shall be no longer mine;

Take my heart, it is Thine own,

It shall be Thy royal throne.

The City of Our God

Author: George W. Bethune

1 O city of the jasper wall,

And of the pearly gate,

For thee amid the storms of life,

Our weary spirits wait,

O may we walk the streets of gold,

No mortal feet have trod;

O may we worship at the shrine,

The temple of our God.

Refrain:

O land of bliss!

O land of light!

O city of the jasper wall!

O land forever bright!

2 O city where they need no light

Of sun, or moon, or star,

Could we with eye of faith but see

How bright thy mansions are,

How soon our doubts would flee away,

How strong our trust would grow,

Until our hearts should trust no more

The treasure here below. 

3 O city where the shining gates

Shut out all grief and sin,

Well may we yearn amid earth’s strife,

Thy holy peace to win,—

Yet will we meekly bear the cross,

Nor seek to lay it down,

Until our Father calls us home,

And gives the promised crown.
