Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America ‎#448a

448a. O Lord of heaven and earth and sea

1 O Lord of heaven and earth and sea,
To thee all praise and glory be;
How shall we show our love to thee,
Who givest all?

2 The golden sunshine, vernal air,
Sweet flowers and fruits thy love declare,
When harvests ripen, thou art there,
Who givest all. A-men.

3 For peaceful homes and healthful days,
For all the blessings earth displays,
We owe thee thankfulness and praise,
Who givest all.

4 Thou didst not spare thine only Son,
But gav’st him for a world undone,
And freely with that blessèd One,
Thou givest all.

5 Thou giv’st the Spirit’s blessèd dower,
Spirit of life and love and power,
And dost his sevenfold graces shower
Upon us all.

6 For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven,
For means of grace and hopes of heaven
Father, all praise to thee be given,
Who givest all.

Amen.
