All good gifts around us

Refrain: All good gifts around us Are sent from heaven above, Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord, For all his love. 2 He only is the Maker Of all things near and far; He paints the wayside flower, He lights the evening star; The winds and waves obey him, By him the birds are fed; Much more to us, his children, He gives our daily bread. [Refrain] 3 We thank thee then, O Father, For all things bright and good, The seed-time and the harvest, Our life, our health, our food; No gifts have we to offer For all thy love imparts, But that which thou desirest, Our humble, thankful hearts.

All nations long to see thee, My Hope, my heart's delight! O kindle, Lord most holy, Thy lamp within my breast, To do in spirit lowly All that may please thee best. 2 Thy Zion palms is strewing, And branches fresh and fair; My heart, its powers renewing, An anthem shall prepare. My heart, its powers renewing, An anthem shall prepare. With all her strength and gladness She fain would serve thy Name. 3 Love caused thine incarnation, Love brought thee down to me; Thy thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. O love beyond all telling That led thee to embrace, In love all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race. 4 Rejoice, then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o'er joys departed And tremble at your doom, He who alone can cheer you Is standing at the door; He brings his pity near you, And bids you weep no more.
