Take, O Lord, all my liberty, receive my memory, my understanding, and my whole will. All that I am and all that I have come to me from Thy bounty; I give it all back to Thee, and surrender it all to the guidance of Thy holy Will. Give me Thy Love and Thy Grace; with these I am rich enough and ask for nothing more. Amen.

| 1) I love Thee, O thou Lord most high! Because Thou first hast lov-éd me I seek no other liberty, But that of being bound to Thee. |
4) All mine is thine, say but the word, Whate’er Thou willest shall be done; I know Thy love, all gracious Lord, I know it seeks my good alone. |
| 2) My mem-o-ry no thought suggest, But shall to Thy pure glory tend; My understanding find no rest, Except in Thee, its only end. |
5) Apart from Thee, all things are nought, Then grant, O my supremest Bliss, Grant me to love thee as I ought, Thou givest all in giving this! |
| 3) My God, I here protest to Thee, No other will I have than Thine, Whatever Thou hast giv’n to me, I here again to thee resign. |
Amen. |
