Thy blessings come to share;
Thy grace has kept us close to Thee,
Like sheltered blossoms fair.
Refrain:
Our hearts o’erflow with praises,
Accept the offering meet;
The fragrance of Thy children’s love,
In tribute pure and sweet.
2 Our hearts, dear Lord, are filled with glee,
Our hands with flowers, too;
Love’s tribute now we bring to Thee,
Affection’s emblem true. [Refrain]
3 Lord, keep us safe within Thy fold,
As carols bright we raise;
To cheer the hearts of young and old,
Through all our changing days. [Refrain] Used With Tune: MAPUTO Text Sources: Sowing and Reaping (Harrisburg, PA: J. H. Kurzenknabe & Sons, 1889)
