I CLASP THE HAND OF LOVE

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.

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 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 through 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.
