164. The Joy of Giving

1 Happy is the man that giveth,
Freely to his fellow men;
Unto him the Lord of heaven,
Many fold shall give again.

Refrain:
Freely giving,
Out of all thine earthly store.
Freely giving, blest in living,
Shalt thou be for evermore.

2 Sow the seed of holy living,
All thy journey’s toilsome length;
So to others coming after,
Thou shalt give thy greater strength. [Refrain]

3 So the wilderness shall blossom
Into beauty, fair and sweet;
And the way of life grow smoother,
To the weary pilgrim feet. [Refrain]
