God, whose giving knows no ending
Author: Robert L. Edwards, 1915- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: One Life in Christ Discipleship Lyrics: 1 God, whose giving knows no ending,
from your rich and endless store,
nature's wonder, Jesus' wisdom,
costly cross, grave's shattered door:
gifted by you, we turn to you,
offering up ourselves in praise;
thankful song shall rise forever,
gracious donor of our days.
2 Skills and time are ours for pressing
toward the goals of Christ, your Son:
all at peace in health and freedom,
races joined, the church made one.
Now direct our daily labour,
lest we strive for self alone;
born with talents, make us servants
fit to answer at your throne.
3 Treasure too you have entrusted,
gain through powers your Grace conferred.
Ours to use for home and kindred,
and to spread the gospel word.
Open wide our hands in sharing,
as we heed Christ's ageless call,
healing, teaching and reclaiming,
serving you by loving all. Scripture: Matthew 25:14-30 Used With Tune: RUSTINGTON

through all our hopes and prayers and dreams,
guide us to justice, truth and love,

our hearts from envy find release,
till by God’s grace our warring world
shall see Christ’s promised reign of peace.

nor shall the fierce devour the small;
as beasts and cattle calmly graze,
a little child shall lead them all.

all creatures find their true accord;
the hope of peace shall be fulfilled,
for all the earth shall know the Lord. Scripture: Isaiah 2:2-4 Used With Tune: JERUSALEM
