The gold and silver are the Lord's

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Haggai 2:8 Lyrics: 1 The gold and silver are the Lord's, And ev'ry blessing earth affords; All come from his propitious hand, And must return at his command. 2 The blessings which I now enjoy, I must for Christ and souls employ; For if I use them as my own, My Lord will soon call in his loan. 3 When I to him in want apply, He never does my suit deny; And shall I then refuse to give, Since I so much from him receive? 4 Shall Jesus leave the realms of day, And clothe himself in humble clay? Shall he become despis'd and poor, To make me rich for ever more! 5 And shall I wickedly withhold To give my silver or my gold? To aid a cause my soul approves, And save the sinners Jesus loves? 6 Expand my heart--incline me, Lord, To give the whole I can afford; That what thy bounty render'd mine, I may with cheerful hands resign.
