God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending

Author: Robert Edwards Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 33 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 2:1-4 Lyrics: 1 God, whose giving knows no ending, from your rich and endless store; nature's wonder, Jesus' wisdom, costly cross, grave's shattered door, gifted by you, we turn to you, off'ring up ourselves in praise; thankful song shall rise forever, gracious donor of our days. 2 Skills and time are ours for pressing toward the goals of Christ, your Son; all at peace in health and freedom, races joined, the church made one. Now direct our daily labor, lest we strive for self alone; born with talents, make us servants fit to answer at your throne. 3 Treasure too you have entrusted, gain through pow'rs your grace conferred, ours to use for home and kindred, and to spread the gospel word. Open wide our hands in sharing, as we heed Christ's ageless call, healing, teaching, and reclaiming, serving you by loving all.

The welcome dawn will hasten on, 'Tis coming by and by. 2 The boast of haughty error No more will fill the air, But age and youth will love the truth, And spread it everywhere; No more from want and sorrow Will come the hopeless cry; And strife will cease, and perfect peace Will flourish by and by. 3 O for that holy dawning We watch, and wait, and pray, Till o'er the height the morning light Shall drive the gloom away; And when the heavenly glory Shall flood the earth and sky, We'll bless the Lord for all his word, And praise him by and by.
