We Give You But Your Own
Author: William Walsham How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 484 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.

And grants His name to know.

Their joy the joy of heav'n.

The myst'ry of His love.

Though shame and death to Him:
His people's hope, His people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme.

To rest our souls in Your supporting love,

and it told thy love to me;
but I long to rise in the arms of faith,
and be closer drawn to thee.
Refrain:
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
to the cross where thou hast died;
draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
to thy precious, bleeding side.
2 Consecrate me now to thy service, Lord,
by the pow'r of grace divine;
let my soul look up with a steadfast hope
and my will be lost in thine. [Refrain]
3 O the pure delight of a single hour
that before thy throne I spend,
when I kneel in prayer and with thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend. [Refrain]
4 There are depths of love that I cannot know
'til I cross the narrow sea;
there are heights of joy that I may not reach
'til I rest in peace with thee. [Refrain] Topics: Invitation and Response; Consecration; Following Christ; Invitation and Response; Steadfastness Used With Tune: I AM THINE
