Lyrics

    We give thee but thine own,
    Whate'er the gift may be,
    For all we have is thine alone,
    A trust, O Lord, from thee.

    May we thy bounties thus
    As stewards true receive,
    And gladly, as thou blessest us,
    To thee our firstfruits give.

    To comfort and to bless,
    To find a balm for woe,
    To tend the lone and fatherless
    Is angels' work below.

    And we believe thy word,
    Tho dim our faith may be;
    Whate'er we do for thine, O Lord,
    We do it unto thee.

    Text: William Walsham How, 1823-1897
    Music: Anon., arr. by Lowell Mason, 1792-1872, and George J. Webb, 1803-1887
