Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-85 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #422 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1 O Lord of heaven, and earth, and sea,
To thee all praise and glory be;
How shall we show our love to thee,
Who givest all?
2 The golden sunshine, vernal air,
Sweet flowers and fruits, thy love declare;
When harvests ripen, thou art there,
Who givest all.
3 For peaceful homes, and healthful days,
For all the blessings earth displays,
We owe thee thankfulness and praise,
Who givest all.
4 Thou didst not spare thine only Son,
But gav'st him for a world undone,
And freely with that blessèd One
Thou givest all.
5 Thou giv'st the Spirit's blessèd dower,
Spirit of life, and love, and power,
And dost his sevenfold graces shower
Upon us all.
6 For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven,
For means of grace and hopes of heaven,
Father, what can to thee be given,
Who givest all.
7 We lose what on ourselves we spend,
We have as treasure without end
Whatever, Lord, to thee we lend,
Who givest all;
8 To thee, from whom we all derive
Our life, our gifts, our power to give:
O may we ever with thee live,
Who givest all. Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST KEIN TAG (MEYER)
