We Give Thee But Thine Own

Author: William W. How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 484 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:17 Lyrics: 1 We give Thee but Thine own, Whate'er the gift may be; All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee. 2 May we Thy bounties thus As stewards true receive And gladly, as Thou blessest us, To Thee our first-fruits give! 3 Oh, hearts are bruised and dead, And homes are bare and cold, And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled Are straying from the fold. 4 To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless, Is angels' work below. 5 The captive to release, To God the lost to bring, To teach the way of life and peace, It is a Christlike thing. 6 And we believe Thy Word, Though dim our faith may be: Whate'er for Thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto Thee. Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) Stewardship Used With Tune: ENERGY
