O Lord of heaven and earth and sea
Author: Bishop Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 333 hymnals Topics: Almsgiving and Other Offerings Used With Tune: ALMSGIVING
O Lord of heaven and earth and sea
We give thee but thine own
Author: Bishop W. Walsham How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 483 hymnals Topics: Almsgiving and Other Offerings Used With Tune: NARENZA
We give thee but thine own
Lord, lead the way the Saviour went
Author: Rev. Wm. Croswell Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 200 hymnals Topics: Almsgiving Lyrics: 1 Lord, lead the way the Saviour went,
By lane and cell obscure;
And let love's treasures still be spent,
Like His, upon the poor.
2 Like Him, through scenes of deep distress,
Who bore the world's sad weight,
We, in their crowded loneliness,
Would seek the desolate.
3 For Thou hast placed us side by side,
In this wide world of ill,
And, that Thy followers may be tried,
The poor are with us still.
4 Mean are all offerings we can make.
But Thou hast taught us, Lord,
If given for the Saviour's sake,
They lose not their reward.
Amen. Used With Tune: [Lord, lead the way the Saviour went]

Fountain of good, to own Thy love
O Thou Who madest land and sea
Author: G. Thring Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Almsgiving and Charities Lyrics: 1 O Thou Who madest land and sea,
And guidest all, in all their ways,
Who hearest those who bring to Thee
Their sacrifice of prayer and praise;
Oh, hear Thy children as they bring
Themselves a lowly offering!
2 Great God, Who with a Father's love
Dost watch o'er all created things,
And gatherest all, below, above,
Beneath the shadow of Thy wings;
Protect, we pray Thee, now, and bless
Thy children who are fatherless.
3 Thou hearest still the eagle's cry,
And notest e'en a sparrow's fall,
Thy listening ear doth heed on high,
And hearken to the raven's call;
Then, heavenly Father, hear and bless
Thy children who are fatherless.
4 Come, heavenly Father, come to-day,
For we Thy children come to Thee,
And Thou wilt never say us, nay,
If come we in humility;
New-born in Thee, O Father, bless
Thy children who are fatherless.
5 Cast forth upon the barren strand
Of this lone world, to Thee we fly;
In faith and hope, we fain would stand
Beneath Thy sheltering arm for aye;
Stretch forth Thy hand ad pitying bless
Thy children who are fatherless.
6 And may we all with joyful mind
Our hearts as living offerings bring,
The first-fruits of our life, to find
A Father in our heavenly King;
And learn in life and death to bless
Thee, "Father of the fatherless."
Amen.

O Thou Who madest land and sea
Thou to Whom the sick and dying
Author: G. Thring Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Almsgiving and Charities; Almsgiving and Charities Lyrics: 1 Thou to Whom the sick and dying
Ever came, nor came in vain,
Still with healing word replying
To the wearied cry of pain;
Hear us, Jesus, as we meet
Suppliants at Thy mercy-seat.
2 Every care, and every sorrow,
Be it great, or be it small,
Yesterday, to-day, to-morrow,
When, where'er it may befall,
Lay we humbly at Thy feet,
Suppliants at Thy mercy-seat.
3 Still the weary, sick and dying
Need a brother's, sister's care,
On Thy higher help relying
May we now their burden share,
Bringing all our offerings meet
Suppliants at Thy mercy-seat.
4 May each child of Thine be willing,
Willing both in hand and heart,
All the law of love fulfilling,
Ever comfort to impart,
Ever bringing offerings meet
Suppliant to Thy mercy-seat.
5 So may sickness, sin and sadness
To Thy healing virtue yield,
Till the sick and sad, in gladness,
Rescued, ransomed, cleansèd, healed,
One in Thee together meet,
Pardoned at Thy judgment-seat.
Amen. Used With Tune: WALTHAM
Thou to Whom the sick and dying
O God of mercy, God of might
Author: G. Thring Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 105 hymnals Topics: Almsgiving and Charities Lyrics: 1 O God of mercy, God of might,
In love and pity infinite,
Teach us, as ever in Thy sight,
To live our life to Thee.
2 And Thou, Who cam'st on earth to die,
That fallen man might live thereby,
Oh, hear us, for to Thee we cry
In hope, O Lord, to Thee.
3 Teach us the lesson Thou hast taught,
To feel for those Thy blood hath bought;
That every word and deed and thought
May work a work for Thee.
4 For all are brethren, far and wide,
Since Thou, O Lord, for all hast died,
Then teach us, whatsoe'er betide,
To love them all in Thee.
5 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care,
Whate'er it be, 'tis ours to share;
May we, when help is needed, there
Give help as unto Thee.
6 And may Thy Holy Spirit move
All those who live, to live in love,
Till Thou shalt greet in heaven above
All those who live to Thee.
Amen. Used With Tune: ELMHURST

Lord, Thou lov'st the cheerful giver
Author: Robert Murray, 1832-1910 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Almsgiving Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou lov'st the cheerful giver,
Who with open heart and hand
Blesses freely, as a river
That refreshes all the land.
Grant us then the grace of giving
With a spirit large and free,
That our life and all our giving
We may consecrate to Thee.
2 We are Thine, Thy mercy sought us,
Found us in death's dreadful way,
To the fold in safety brought us,
Never more from Thee to stray.
Thine own life Thou freely gavest
As an offering on the cross
For each sinner whom Thou savest
From eternal shame and loss.
3 Blest by Thee with gifts and graces,
May we heed Thy Church's call;
Gladly in all times and places
Give to Thee who givest all.
Thou hast bought us, and no longer
Can we claim to be our own;
Ever free and ever stronger,
We shall serve Thee, Lord, alone.
4 Saviour, Thou hast freely given
All the blessings we enjoy,
Earthly store and bread of heaven,
Love and peace without alloy;
Humbly now we bow before Thee,
And our all to Thee resign;
For the kingdom, power, and glory,
Are, O Lord, for ever Thine. Used With Tune: BENEVOLENCE
Lord, Thou lov'st the cheerful giver
