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 thusAs stewards true receive,And gladly, as thou blessest us,To thee our first-fruits give.
3. To comfort and to bless,To find a balm for woe,To tend the lone and fatherlessIs angels’ work below.
4. And we believe thy word,Though dim our faith may be.Whate’er for thine we do, O Lord,We do it unto thee.
