We Give Thee but Thine Own
VERSE 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.
VERSE 2
May we
Thy bounties thus
As
stewards true receive,
And gladly,
as Thou blessest us,
To Thee
our firstfruits give.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 4
To
comfort and to bless,
To find
a balm for woe,
To tend
the lone and fatherless
Is
angels’ work below.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 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.
