“I Take”—“He Undertakes”

I clasp the hand of love di­vine

I claim the gra­cious pro­mise mine

And this eter­nal count­er­sign

I take—He un­der­takes.

I take Thee

bless­èd Lord

I give my­self to Thee;

And Thou

ac­cord­ing to Thy word

Dost un­der­take for me.

I take sal­va­tion full and free

Thro’ Him who gave His life for me

He un­der­takes my all to be

I take—He un­der­takes.

I take Him as my ho­li­ness

My spir­it’s spot­less

heav­en­ly dress

I take the Lord

my right­eous­ness

I take—He un­der­takes.

I take the pro­mised Ho­ly Ghost

I take the pow­er of Pen­te­cost

To fill me to the ut­ter­most

I take—He un­der­takes.

I take Him for this mor­tal frame

I take my heal­ing thro’ His name

And all His ris­en life I claim

I take—He un­der­takes.

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 His high­est will for me

Faith’s ut­most pos­si­bil­ity

For time and all eter­ni­ty

I take—He un­der­takes.
