 1 

I clasp the hand of Love divine,

I claim the gracious promise mine,

And add to His my countersign,

   "I take" — "He undertakes."

 

   I take Thee, blessed Lord,

   I give myself to Thee,

And Thou, according to Thy word,

   Dost undertake for me.

 

 2 

I take salvation full and free,

Through Him who gave His life for me,

He undertakes my all to be,

   "I take" — "He undertakes."

 

   I take Thee, blessed Lord,

   I give myself to Thee,

And Thou, according to Thy word,

   Dost undertake for me.

 

 3 

I take Him as my holiness,

My spirit's spotless, heavenly dress,

I take the Lord, my righteousness,

   "I take" — "He undertakes."

 

   I take Thee, blessed Lord,

   I give myself to Thee,

And Thou, according to Thy word,

   Dost undertake for me.

 

 4 

I take the promised Holy Ghost,

I take the power of Pentecost,

To fill me to the uttermost,

   "I take" — "He undertakes."

 

   I take Thee, blessed Lord,

   I give myself to Thee,

And Thou, according to Thy word,

   Dost undertake for me.

 

 5 

I take Him for this mortal frame,

I take my healing through His Name,

And all His risen life I claim,

   "I take" — "He undertakes."

 

   I take Thee, blessed Lord,

   I give myself to Thee,

And Thou, according to Thy word,

   Dost undertake for me.

 

 6 

I simply take Him at His word,

I praise Him that my prayer is heard,

And claim my answer from the Lord,

   "I take" — "He undertakes."

 

   I take Thee, blessed Lord,

   I give myself to Thee,

And Thou, according to Thy word,

   Dost undertake for me.
