Amen. 1 TAKE me, O my Father, take me; Take me, save me, through Thy Son; That which Thou wouldst have me, make me; 2 Long from Thee my footsteps straying, 3 Fruitless years with grief recalling, At Thy feet, O Father, falling, 4 Freely now to Thee I proffer This relenting heart of mine; Gift unworthy love like Thine. 5 Father, take me; all forgiving, I must be forever blest.
