Representative Text

Take and receive, O Lord, my liberty;
Take all my will, my mind, my memory;
All things I hold and all I own are Thine;
Thine was the gift, to Thee I all resign.
Do Thou direct and govern all and sway;
Do what Thou wilt, command, and I obey;
Only Thy grace, Thy love on me bestow;
These make me rich, all else will I forego.
