Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of Thy love.

Take my feet, and let them be swift and purposeful for Thee.

Take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King.

Take my intellect, and use every power as thou shalt choose.

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.

Take my love, my Lord, I pour at Thy feet its treasure-store.

Take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for Thee.

O blessèd Jesus, hear and answer me; 
deep in thy wounds, Lord, hide and shelter me,

Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my wisdom, be Thou my true Word;

I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;

Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;

Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight;

Be Thou my armour, and be Thou my might;

Thou my soul’s shelter, and Thou my high tower:

Raise Thou me heav’nward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,

Thou mine inheritance through all of my days;

Thou and Thou only, the first in my heart,

High King of Heaven, my treasure Thou art!

High King of Heaven, when battle is done,

Grant Heaven’s joys to me, O bright heaven’s sun!

Christ of my own heart, whatever befall,

still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

And by their love they'll sow your seed,

For the fruits of all creation, thanks be to God;

for these gifts to every nation, thanks be to God;

for the ploughing, sowing, reaping,

silent growth while we are sleeping,

future needs in earth's safekeeping, thanks be to God.

In the just reward of labour, God's will is done;

In the help we give our neighbour, God's will is done;

In our world-wide task of caring,

for the hungry and despairing,

in the harvests we are sharing, God's will is done.

For the harvests of the Spirit, thanks be to God;

For the good we all inherit, thanks be to God;

For the wonders that astound us,

for the truths that still confound us,

most of all that love has found us, thanks be to God.

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.

Pray that I may have the grace

To let you be my servant, too.

We are pilgrims on a journey

We are trav'llers on the road;

We are here to help each other

Walk the mile and bear the load

I will hold the Christ-light for you

In the night-time of your fear;

I will hold my hand out to you,

Speak the peace you long to hear.

I will weep when you are weeping;

When you laugh I'll laugh with you.

I will share your joy and sorrow

Till we've seen this journey through.

We shall find such harmony,

Born of all we've known together

Of Christ's love and agony.

Chorus:

Follow me, follow me, leave your home and family,

Leave your fishing nets and boats upon the shore.

Leave the seed that you have sown, leave the crops that you have grown, leave the people you have known and follow me.

1. The foxes have their holes,

and the swallows have their nests,

but the son of man

has no place to lay down.

I do not offer comfort,

I do not offer wealth,

but in me will all happiness be found.

2. If you would follow me,

you must leave old ways behind.

You must take my cross

and follow on my path.

You may be far from loved ones,

you may be far from home,

but my father will welcome you at last.

3. Although I go away

you will never be alone.

for the spirit will be

there to comfort you.

Though all of you may scatter,

each follow his own path,

still the spirit of love will lead you home.
