The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church ‎#367

367. Great Giver of All Good

1 Great Giver of all good,
Teach us to give like Thee;
Ours be the great beatitude
Of love and service free.

2 May we Thy law of love
Fulfill in thought and deed:
Each generous impulse from above
Obey with joyful speed.

3 May we, with Thee, O Lord,
Each other's sorrows share:
Let each his friendly aid afford,
And feel his brother's care.

4 Poor are our offerings, Lord,
Yet if bestowed in love,
No gift shall fail of its reward
In larger life above.

5 In love may we increase
By Thy sweet mercy's grace,
Till all that's selfish from us cease,
And ill to good give place.

Amen.
