ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID'S CITY
Verse 1
Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby In a manger for his bed;
Mary was that Mother mild Jesus Christ her little Child
Verse 2
He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all,
And his shelter was a stable, And his cradle was a stall;
With the poor and mean and lowly Lived on earth our saviour holy
Verse 3
And through all his wondrous childhood He would honour and obey,
Love and watch the lowly Maiden, In whose gentle arm he lay
Christian children all must be Mild, Obedient good as he.
TAKE MY LIFE
Verse 1
Take my life and let it be
consecrated Lord to thee.
Take my moment and my days
Let them flow in ceaseless praise
Verse 2
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of thy love
Take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for thee
Verse 3
Take my voice and let them sing
always only for my king
Take my lip and let them be
filled with messages for thee
Verse 4
Take my silver and my gold
Not a mite would I withhold
Take my intellect and use
every power as thou shalt choose
Verse 5
Take my will and make it thine
It shall be no longer mine
Take my heart it is thine own
It shall be thy royal throne
