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 angels' work below.
?
4. The captive to release, to God the lost to bring,
to teach the way of life and peace, It is a Christ-like thing.
?
5. And we believe Thy Word, though dim our faith may be;
What e'er for Thine we do, O Lord, we do it unto Thee.
