Refrain: Take my heart and let it be Cleansed from all impurity; Fill it, too, with love divine; Make it, O my Lord, like Thine. 2 Lead me, Lord, where Thou shalt choose; Nevermore will I refuse Thee the right to reign within, O my Savior, from all sin. All is on the altar laid; And my faith on Thee is stayed; Now, O Lord, I wait the fire, Burning every base desire. [Refrain] 3 Now I feel the blood applied; Let me, Christ, in Thee abide; Walk with me from day to day; Lead me, Savior, all the way. Savior, this my gift to Thee; Greater Thine, O Lord, to me— Thy rich grace in me to dwell, This assurance, "All is well." [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Take my heart and let it be]

W. G. Cooper

1861 - 1938 Person Name: William Gustin Cooper Composer of "[Take my heart and let it be]" in The Cyber Hymnal Rv William Gustin Cooper USA 1861-1938. Born in Evansville, WI, he married Mabel Luella Cooper. He became a Baptist minister having pastorates in Hortonville Village, WI, 1897 – 1901, and later in Ira, VT, in 1922. He also conducted camp meetings. He wrote a number of hymn lyrics and a few tunes. He died in Canton, ME. Note: In a campmeeting service in 1889, when the service was over, a lyricist, Warren Cornell, sat writing a poem. As he left the site, he dropped the paper he was writing and didn't notice it. An hour or or so later, Rev. Cooper came in to tidy up the tent area for the next service, saw the paper, picked it up and read it, and was so inspired by the words, that he finished writing the text and went to the organ and composed the tune for the hymn, “Wonderful peace”.
