Hymn 662
O Lord of heaven and earth and sea
Meter: 8.8.4
Scripture: 1 Chr. 29:14
O Lord of heaven and earth and sea,
To Thee all praise and glory be;
How shall we show our love to Thee,
Giver of all!
The golden sunshine, vernal air,
Sweet flow’rs and fruits, Thy love declare
Where harvests ripen, Thou art there
Giver of all!
For peaceful homes and beautiful days,
For all the blessings, earth displays,
We owe Thee thankfulness and praise
Giver of 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 Holy Sprits dow’r
Spirit of life, and love, and pow’r
And dost His sev’n fold graces show'r
Upon us all.
For souls redeemed, for sins forgiv'n,
For means of grace, and hopes of Heav’n,
Father, what can to Thee be giv'n,
Who givest all?
We lose what on ourselves we spend:
We have as treasure without end
Whatever Lord, to Thee we lend,
Who givest all!
Whatever, Lord we lend to Thee
Repaid a thousand fold will be,
Then gladly will we give to Thee
Giver of all!
To Thee, from, Whom we all derive
Our life, our gifts, our pow'r to give
Oh, may we ever with Thee live,
Giver of all!
