1 O Lord of heav'n and earth and sea,
To thee all praise and glory be,
How shall we show our love to Thee
Who givest all?
2 The golden sunshine, vernal air,
Sweet flow'rs and fruits Thy love declare;
When harvests ripen, Thou art there
Who givest all.
3 For peaceful homes and healthful days,
For all the blessings earth displays,
We owe Thee thankfulness and praise
Who givest all.
4 Thou didst not spare Thine only Son,
But gav’st Him for a world undone,
And freely with that Blessèd One,
Thou givest all.
5 For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven,
For means of grace and hopes of heaven,
Father, all praise to Thee be given
Who givest all?
6 To Thee, from Whom we all derive
Our life, our gifts, our power to give;
O may we ever with Thee live
Who givest all.
Amen.
