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  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,
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.
Amen.
