533. What shall we offer to our Lord

1 What shall we offer to our Lord
In gratitude for all his grace?
Fain would we his great name record
And worthily set forth his praise.

2 O thou, who callest forth our love,
To whom our more than all we owe,
Open the fountain from above,
And let thy love our souls o’erflow.

3 So shall our lives thy power proclaim,
Thy grace for every sinner free,
Till all mankind shall learn thy name,
Shall all stretch out their hands to thee.

4 Open a door which earth and Hell
May strive to shut, but strive in vain;
Let thy word richly in us dwell,
And let our gracious fruit remain.

5 We all, in perfect love renewed,
Shall know the greatness of thy power,
Stand in the temple of our God
As pillars, and go out no more.
