Author: William Walsham How Hymnal: Church Book #477 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 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 first fruits give.
3 O 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 captive to release,
The lost to God 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 we do for Thine, O Lord,
We do it unto Thee. Topics: The Christian Life Benevolence; Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: POTSDAM
