We Give Thee But Thine Own

Author: William W. How, 1823-97 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 499 hymnals Lyrics: 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 blessest us, To thee our firstfruits give. 3 Oh, 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 captives 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.

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 356 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Your harps, ye trembling saints, Down from the willows take; Loud to the praise of love divine Bid ev'ry string awake. 2 Though in a foreign land, We are not far from home; And nearer to our house above We ev'ry moment come. 3 His grace will to the end Stronger and brighter shine; Nor present things, nor things to come, Shall quench the grace divine. 4 When we in darkness walk, Nor feel the heav'nly flame, Then is the time to trust our God, And rest upon his Name. 5 Soon shall our doubts and fears Subside at his control; His loving-kindness shall break through The midnight of the soul. 6 Blest is the man, O God, That stays himself on thee: Who wait for thy salvation, Lord, Shall thy salvation see.
