Composer: | John B. Dykes |
1 O LORD of heav’n and earth and sea,
To Thee all praise and glory be;
How shall we show our love to Thee,
Who givest all?
2 Thou didst not spare Thine only Son,
But gav’st Him for a world undone;
And freely with the blessèd One
Thou givest all.
3 We lose what on ourselves we spend,
We have as treasure without end
Whatever, Lord, to Thee we lend,
Who givest all.
4 To Thee, from whom we all derive
Our life, our gifts, our power to give!
O may we ever with Thee live,
Who givest all.
5 Thou giv’st the Spirit’s blessed dower,
Spirit of life, and love, and power,
And dost His sevenfold graces shower,
Upon us all.
6 For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven
For means of grace and hopes of heaven,
Father, all praise to Thee be given,
Who givest all.
