We Give Thee but Thine Own
Author: William W. How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 485 hymnals Scripture: Deuteronomy 26:1-5 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. Topics: Stewardship of Possessions; Elements of Worship Offering Used With Tune: SCHUMANN
We Give Thee but Thine Own
We Plow the Fields and Scatter
Author: Matthias Claudius; Jane M. Campbell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Appears in 454 hymnals Scripture: Deuteronomy 26:1-11 Refrain First Line: All good gifts around us Lyrics: 1 We plow the fields and scatter
the good seed on the land,
but it is fed and watered
by God’s almighty hand.
God sends the snow in winter,
the warmth to swell the grain,
the breezes, and the sunshine,
and soft refreshing rain.
Refrain:
All good gifts around us are sent from heav’n above.
We thank you, God, we thank you, God, for all your love.
2 You only are the Maker
of all things near and far.
You paint the wayside flower,
you light the evening star.
The winds and waves obey you,
by you the birds are fed;
much more to us, your children,
you give our daily bread. [Refrain]
3 We thank you, then, Creator,
for all things bright and good,
the seed-time, and the harvest,
our life, our health, our food.
Accept the gifts we offer
for all your love imparts,
and what you most would welcome:
our humble, thankful hearts. [Refrain] Topics: God Faithfulness of; Harvest; Land; Rural Life; Thanksgiving Used With Tune: WIR PFLÜGEN Text Sources: Wir pflügen und wir streuen, Fest, 1782; trans. Jane M. Campbell (England), Garland of Song, 1861, alt.
