Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) ‎#432

432. We Give Thee But Thine Own

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 Our 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.
