We Give You But Your Own
Author: William Walsham How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 482 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10 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.

freely may your servants give.
Yours the gold and yours the silver,
yours the wealth of sea and land,
we but stewards of your bounty
held in trust at your command.
3 Come, Lord Jesus, reign among us,
King of Love, and Prince of Peace;
hush the storm of strife and passion,
bid its cruel discords cease.

grant from heaven, our hope’s fruition:
here on earth your will be done. Topics: Jesus Christ Mediator; Jesus Christ Son of Man; Life in Christ Christ Risen - Reign and Priesthood; Stewardship; Unity of Humanity Used With Tune: BLAENWERN

you overcome through Christ alone
and stand complete at last.

Is crowned with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty Victor's brow.

Is His, is His by right,
The King of kings and Lord of lords,
And heav'n's eternal Light;

The Joy of all below
To whom He manifests His love
And grants His name to know.
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is giv'n;
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heav'n.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with Him above,
Their profit and their joy to know
The myst'ry of His love.
6 The cross He bore is life and health,
Though shame and death to Him:
His people's hope, His people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme.

for I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
for I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
my grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
the flame shall not hurt thee, I only design
thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5 "The soul that on Jesus still leans for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake!"

fill your weak soul with vain alarm:
his strength shall bear your spirit up,
and brace your heart, and nerve your arm.

and leads to victory o'er the grave.

My Lord, Thy will be done.

I gladly trust with Thee.

Thou Judge of quick and dead

For that tremendous day,
And fill us now with watchful care,
And stir us up to pray:

When, robed in majesty and power,
Thou shalt from heaven come down.

To judge the human race,
With all thy Father's dazzling train,
With all thy glorious grace.

To increase our gracious fears,
For ever let the archangel's voice
Be sounding in our ears
The solemn midnight cry,--
Ye dead, the Judge is come;
Arise, and meet him in the sky,
And meet your instant doom.
4 Oh, may we all be found
Obedient to thy word,
Attentive to the trumpet's sound,
And looking for our Lord.
Oh, may we thus ensure
A lot among the blest;
And watch a moment to secure
An everlasting rest.

fit to answer at your throne.

gain through powers your grace conferred:
ours to use for home and kindred,
and to spread the gospel word.

serving you by loving all.

everything to God in prayer!

take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge–
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee;
thou wilt find a solace there.
