65. What Can We Render?

1 Fountain of good, to own thy love
Our thankful hearts incline;
What can we render, Lord, to thee,
When all the worlds are thine?
All that we have thy mercy and thy love
Upon us has bestowed;
All that we give is giving unto thee
From whom all blessings flowed.

Chorus:
Just a cup of water to the thirsting,
Or a word of cheer to souls distrest;
'Tis enough to know that, in the giving,
Ev'ry act by thee is blest.

2 Help us, O Lord, thy yoke to wear,
And joy to do thy will;
Each others burdens gladly bear
And love's sweet law fulfill.
All that we have thy mercy and thy love
Upon us has bestowed;
All that we give is giving unto thee
From whom all blessings flowed. [Chorus]

3 Thy face, with rev'rence with love,
We in thy poor would see;
And while we minister to them,
Would do it as to thee.
All that we have thy mercy and thy love
Upon us has bestowed;
All that we give is giving unto thee
From whom all blessings flowed. [Chorus]

4 Do thou, O Lord, our gifts accept,
And with thy blessing speed;
Bless us in giving, greatly bless
Our gifts to them that need.
All that we have thy mercy and love
Upon us has bestowed;
All that we give is giving unto thee
From whom all blessings flowed. [Chorus]
