R. Palmer (491/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

R. Palmer TAKE me, O my Father, take me; Take me, save me, through Thy Son; That which Thou wouldst have me make me; Let Thy will in me be done. 2 Long from Thee my footsteps straying, Thorny proved the way I trod; Weary come I now, and praying. Take me to Thy love, my God. 3 Fruitless years with grief recalling, Humbly I confess my sin, At Thy feet, O Father, falling; To Thy household take me in. 4 Freely now to Thee I proffer This relenting heart of mine; Freely life and soul I offer, Gift unworthy love like Thine. 5 Once the world’s Redeemer, dying, Bore our sins upon the Tree; On the sacrifice relying, Now I look in hope to Thee. 6 Father, take me: all forgiving, Fold me to Thy loving breast; In Thy love forever living, I must be forever blest.
