1 Ev’rything gives, in its own happy way,
Something to bless or to cheer;
Birds in the trees, and the flowers so gay,
Taught by the Father so dear.
Refrain:
Give, give, gladly we’ll give!
Give, give, gladly we’ll give!
We live in giving,
We give in living,
We’ll give, gladly give!
2 Ev’rything gives, be it ever so small,
Fragrance, or beauty, or song;
Never in selfishness keeping it all,
Passing the good right along. [Refrain]
3 Ev’rything gives of the best that it can,
Streamlet and green waving tree;
This is a part of God’s wonderful plan,
Sharing with love full and free. [Refrain]
