We Give Thee but Thine Own

Author: William W. How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 482 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 first fruits give. 3 To comfort and to bless, to find a balm for woe, to tend the lonely in distress, is angels' work below. 4 The captive to release, to God the lost to bring, to teach the way of life and peace– it is a Christlike thing. 5 And we believe thy Word, though dim our faith may be; whate'er for thine we do, O Lord, we do it unto thee.
