Author: August Gottlieb Spangenberg, 1704-92; John Wesley, 1703-91 Hymnal: Together in Song #439 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Matthew 13:23 Lyrics: 1 What shall we offer our good Lord,
poor nothings, for his boundless grace?
Fain would we his great name record
and worthily set forth his praise.
2 Great object of our growing love,
to whom our more than all we owe,
open the fountain from above,
and let it our full souls o’erflow.
3 So shall our lives thy power proclaim,
thy grace for every sinner free,
till all the world shall learn thy name,
shall all stretch out their hands to thee.
4 Open a door which earth and hell
may strive to shut, but strive in vain;
let thy word richly in us dwell,
and let our gracious fruit remain.
5 O multiply the sower’s seed!
and fruit we every hour shall bear,
throughout the world thy gospel spread,
thy everlasting truth declare. Topics: Confidence; Evangelism; Grace; Mission/Sending; People of God; Truth; Witness; Word of God; Worship The Offering Languages: English Tune Title: DUKE STREET
