Author: William W. How Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #507 (1974) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10 Lyrics: 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 To comfort and to bless,
To find a balm for woe,
To tend the lone and fatherless,
Is angels’ work below.
4 The captive to relieve,
To God the lost to bring,
To teach the way of life and peace—-
It is a Christ-like thing.
5 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. Topics: Stewardship of Substance Languages: English Tune Title: SCHUMANN
