Text: | We give thee but thine own |
Author: | William Walsham How |
Tune: | SCHUMANN |
1 We give thee but thine own,
Whate'er the gift may be:
All that we have is thine alone,
A trust, O Lord, from thee.
2 May we thy bounties thus
As stewards true receive,
And gladly, as thou blessest us,
To thee our first-fruits give.
3 O hearts are bruised and dead,
And homes are bare and cold,
And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled
Are straying from the fold.
4 And we believe thy Word,
Though dim our faith may be,
Whate'er for thine we do,
O Lord, We do it unto thee.
Amen.
