The New Christian Hymnal ‎#319

319. Almighty Father, Heaven and Earth

1. Almighty Father, heav'n and earth
With lavish wealth before Thee bow;
Those treasures owe to Thee their birth,
Creator, Ruler, Giver, Thou.

2. The wealth of earth, of sky, of sea,
The gold, the silver, sparkling gem,
The waving corn, the bending tree,
Are Thine; to us Thou lendest them.

3. We, Lord, would lay, at Thy behest,
The costliest off'rings on Thy shrine;
But when we give, and give our best,
We only give Thee that is Thine.

4. O Father, whence all blessings come,
O Son, dispenser of God's store,
O Spirit, bear our off'rings home,
Lord, make them Thine forevermore.
