Hymn 486 – WE give Thee but Thine own | C&S English Hymnary

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. 2. May we Thy bounties Lord As steward thus receive And gladly, as Thou blessest us, To Thee our first-fruits give. 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. 4. To comfort and to bless To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless Is angels' work below. 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. 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 AMEN
