BH 325The Christian Life

More Like the Master

1. More like the Master I would ever be,
More of His meekness, more humility;
More zeal to labor, more courage to be true,
More consecration for work He bids me do.
Chorus
Chorus: Take Thou my heart,
I would be Thine alone;
Take Thou my heart and make it all Thine own.
Purge me from sin,
O Lord, I now implore,
Wash me and keep me Thine forevermore.
2. More like the Master is my daily prayer;
More strength to carry crosses I must bear;
More earnest effort to bring His kingdom in,
More of His Spirit, the wanderer to win.
Chorus
Chorus: Take Thou my heart,
I would be Thine alone;
Take Thou my heart and make it all Thine own.
Purge me from sin,
O Lord, I now implore,
Wash me and keep me Thine forevermore.
3. More like the Master I would live and grow;
More of His love to others I would show;
More self-denial, like His in Galilee,
More like the Master I long to ever be.
Chorus
Chorus: Take Thou my heart,
I would be Thine alone;
Take Thou my heart and make it all Thine own.
Purge me from sin,
O Lord, I now implore,
Wash me and keep me Thine forevermore.
