Take Me O My Father Take Me { Take Me O My Father Take Me SUPPLICATION-William Henry Monk VESPER HYMN-Composer Unknown (arr. Sir John A. St evenson) SANTOLIUS-Geistliche volkslied, 1850 AUTUMN-Genevan Psalter, 1551 HYMN TO JOY-Ludwig von Beethoven Take Me, O My Father, Take Me } 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. 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. Fruitless years with grief recalling, humbly I confess my sin; At Thy feet, O Father, falling, To Thy household take me in. Freely now to Thee I proffer This relenting heart of mine; Freely, life and soul I offer, Gift unworthy love like Thine. Once the world's Redeemer, dying, Bore our sins upon the tree; On that sacrifice relying, Now I look in hope to Thee. Father, take me; all forgiving, Fold me to Thy loving breast; In Thy love forever living, I must be forever blest.
