Author: Christopher Wordsworth (1807-1885) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #750 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern 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 gav'st him for a world undone,
and freely with that blessèd One
thou givest all.
5 Thou giv'st 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 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: Harvest Thanksgiving; Creation and the Environment; Church Year Pentecost; Creation; Family and Friends; Gratitude; Harvest; Holy Spirit gifts of; Stewardship; Thanksgiving Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:11-14 Languages: English Tune Title: ALMSGIVING
