Text: | All things are Thine; no gift have we |
Author: | J. G. Whittier |
Tune: | ALSACE |
Composer: | From L. van Beethoven |
1 All things are Thine; no gift have we,
Lord of all gifts, to offer Thee;
And hence with grateful hearts today
Thine own before Thy feet we lay.
2 Thy will was in the builders' thought;
Thy hand unseen amidst us wrought;
Through mortal motive, scheme, and plan,
Thy wise eternal purpose ran.
3 In weakness and in want we call
On Thee for whom the heavens are small
Thy glory is Thy children's good,
Thy joy Thy tender Fatherhood.
4 O Father, deign these walls to bless;
Fill with Thy love their emptiness;
And let their door a gateway be
To lead us from ourselves to Thee.
