Whate'er the gift may be;
All that we have is thine alone,
A trust, O Lord, from thee.
2 May we thy bounties thus
As stewards true receive,
And gladly, as thou blessest us,
To thee our first-fruits give.
3 O hearts are bruised and dead,
And homes are bare and cold,
And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled
Are straying from the fold; A-men.
4 To comfort and to bless,
To find a balm for woe,
To tend the lone and fatherless,
Is angels' work below.
5 The captive to release,
To God the lost to bring,
To teach the way of life and peace,
It is a Christlike thing.
6 And we believe thy word,
Though dim our faith may be;
Whate'er for thine we do, O Lord,
We do it unto thee.
Amen.
