Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1877 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #705 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.4 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;
when 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 gavest him for a world undone,
and freely with that Blessèd One
thou givest all.
5 Thou givest the Holy Spirit's 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,
Father, what can to thee 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 thousandfold 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: Sacraments and Other Occasions Almsgiving Languages: English Tune Title: ALMSGIVING
