1 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?
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 that Blessed One
Thou givest all.
But gav'st Him for a world undone,
And freely with that Blessed One
Thou givest all.
3 Thou giv'st the Spirit's holy dower,
Spirit of life, and love, and power,
And dost His sevenfold graces shower
Upon us all.
Spirit of life, and love, and power,
And dost His sevenfold graces shower
Upon us all.
4 For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven,
For means of grace and hopes of heaven,
What can to Thee, O Lord, be given,
Who givest all?
For means of grace and hopes of heaven,
What can to Thee, O Lord, be given,
Who givest all?
5 We lose what on ourselves we spend,
We have, as treasure without end,
Whatever, Lord, to Thee we lend,
Who givest all.
We have, as treasure without end,
Whatever, Lord, to Thee we lend,
Who givest all.
