Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #452 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.4 First Line: O Lord of heaven and earth and sea Lyrics: 1 O Lord of heaven and earth and sea,
To Thee all praise and glory be;
How shall we show our love to Thee,
Who givest all?
2 The golden sunshine, vernal air,
Sweet flowers and fruit, Thy love declare;
Where harvests ripen, Thou art there,
Who givest all.
3 For peaceful homes, and healthful days,
For all the blessings earth displays,
We owe Thee thankfulness and praise,
Who givest all.
4 Thou didst not spare Thine only Son,
But gav'st Him for a world undone,
And freely with that blessed One
Thou givest all.
5 Thou giv'st the Spirit's holy dower,
Spirit of life, and love, and power,
And dost His sevenfold graces shower
Upon us all.
6 For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven,
For means of grace and hopes of heaven,
What can to Thee, O Lord, be given,
Who givest all?
7 We lose what on ourselves we spend,
We have, as treasure without end
Whatever, Lord, to Thee we lend,
Who givest all.
8 Whatever Lord, we lend to Thee,
Repaid a thousand fold will be;
Then gladly will we give to Thee
Who givest all,--
9 To Thee, from whom we all derive,
Our life, our gifts, our power to give;
O may we ever with Thee live,
Who givest all! Topics: The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; Benevolence Tune Title: [O Lord of heaven and earth and sea]
