We Give Thee But Thine Own
We Give Thee But Thine Own
1. We give thee but thine own
What e’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. To comfort and to bless,
To find a balm for woe,
To tend the lone and fatherless
Is angel’s 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.
