More Like The Master

Chas. H. Gabriel (1906) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 51:10

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 work He bids me do.

Chorus

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.

Verse 2

More like the Master is my daily prayer; More strength to carry crosses I must bear; More earnest effort to bring His kingdom in, More of His Spirit, the wanderer to win.

Chorus

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.

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.

Chorus

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.
