We Give Thee But Thine Own

Author: William W. How, 1823-97 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 491 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We give thee but thine own, Whate'er the gift may be; All that we have is thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from thee. 2 May we thy bounties thus As stewards true receive And gladly, as thou blessest us, To thee our firstfruits give. 3 Oh, hearts are bruised and dead, And homes are bare and cold, And lambs for whom the shepherd bled Are straying from the fold. 4 To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless, Is angels' work below. 5 The captives to release, To God the lost to bring, To teach the way of life and peace-- It is a Christ-like thing. 6 And we believe thy Word Though dim our faith may be: Whate'er for thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto thee.

Enslaved by Sin and Bound in Chains

Author: Anne Steele, 1717-78 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Enslaved by sin and bound in chains, Beneath its dreadful tyrant sway, And doomed to everlasting pains We wretched, guilty captives lay. 2 Nor gold nor gems could buy our peace, Nor all the world's collected store Suffice to purchase our release; A thousand worlds were all too poor. 3 Jesus, the Lord, the mighty God, An all-sufficient ransom paid. O matchless price! His precious blood For vile, rebellious traitors shed. 4 Jesus the sacrifice became To rescue guilty souls from hell; The spotless, bleeding, dying Lamb Beneath avenging justice fell. 5 Amazing goodness! Love divine! Oh, may our grateful hearts adore The matchless grace nor yield to sin Nor wear its cruel fetters more! Topics: Lent; Lent Used With Tune: WENN WIR IN HÖCHSTEN NÖTEN SEIN

His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 This earth, with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, your pow'r has founded of old, Established it fast by a changeless decree, And round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Your bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In you do we trust nor find you to fail. Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! Topics: Worship and Praise; Worship and Praise Used With Tune: HANOVER
