Author: William Walsham How Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #296 (1987) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) Lyrics: 1 We give you but your own
in any gifts we bring:
all that we have is yours alone,
a trust from you, our King.
2 May we your bounties thus
as stewards true receive,
and gladly, Lord, as you bless us,
to you our firstfruits give.
3 To comfort and to bless,
to find a balm for woe,
to tend those lost in loneliness
is angels' work below.
4 The captive to release,
the lost to God to bring,
to teach the way of life and peace
it is a Christlike thing.
5 And we believe your Word,
though dim our faith may be.
Whate'er we do for you, O Lord,
we do it gratefully.
