To you all praise and glory be!
How can we thank you properly
Who gives us all?
2 The golden sunshine, springtime air,
Sweet flow'rs and fruit your love declare;
When harvests ripen, you are there,
Who gives us all.
3 For peaceful homes and healthful days,
For all the blessings earth displays
We owe you thankfulness and praise,
Who gives us all.
4 You did not spare your only Son,
But gave him for a world undone,
And freely with that blessed one
You give us all.
5 We have your Spirit ev'ry hour,
The Lord of life and love and pow'r,
He will his sev'nfold graces show'r
Upon us all.
6 For means of grace, for sins forgiv'n,
For souls redeemed and hopes of heav'n,
What can to you, O Lord, be giv'n,
Who gives us all?
7 We lose what on ourselves we spend;
We have as treasures without end
Whatever, Lord, to you we lend,
Who gives us all.
8 Dear Lord, from you we all derive
Our life, our gifts, our pow'r to give.
Oh, may we ever with you live,
Who gives us all! Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST KEIN TAG
