LyicsTAKE my heart, O Father; mold it
In obedience to thy will;
And as ripening years unfold it,
Keep it true and childlike still.
Father, keep it pure and lowly,
Strong and brave, yet free from strife,
Turning from the paths unholy
Of a vain or sinful life.
Ever let thy might surround it;
Strengthen it with power divine,
Till thy cords of love have bound it,
Father, wholly unto thine.
