Verse 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 the work He bids me do.
Refrain ~
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.
Purge me from sin, O Lord, I now implore,
Wash me and keep me Thine forevermore.
Verse 2 ~
More like the Master is my daily prayer;
More strength to carry the crosses I must bear;
More earnest effort to bring His kingdom in;
More of His Spirit, the wanderers to win.
Verse 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.
