(88.84) R. C. H. 19

by CHRISTOPHER WORDSWORTH, 1807-85

O Lord of Heaven and earth and sea
"Freely you have received, freely give" Matt 10:8
O Lord of Heaven and earth and sea.
To Thee all praise and glory be;
How shall we show our love to Thee
Who givest all?
For peaceful homes and healthful days
For all the blessings earth displays,
We owe Thee thankfulness and praise
Who givest all
Thou didst not spare Thine only son,
But gav'st Him for a world undone,
And freely with that blessed one
Thou givest all
Thou giv'st the spirit's blessed dower,
Spirit of life and love and power,
And dost His sevenfold graces shower
Upon us all
We loose and scattered all our wealth,
As we refuse to give the poor,
They should be ours if we should give,
Thou givest all.
All gifts to Thee by us on earth
Is not enough for our reward.
Which thou shall give to us at last
Thou givest all
For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven
For means of grace and hopes of heaven,
Father, all praise to Thee be given,
Who givest all
