We give Thee but Thine own

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 thus

As stewards true receive

And gladly, as Thou blesses us

To Thee, our first fruits give

3.

O hearts are bruis’d 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
