About this Hymn
Part of coming into maturity as a Christian means recognizing the hand of God as the source of all blessings (James 1:17). This hymn voices what David declared after gathering materials for the temple: "Now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name. But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you" (1 Chron. 29:13–14).
Lyrics
Verse 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.
Verse 2
May we thy bounties thus as stewards true receive, and gladly, as thou blessest us, to thee our first fruits give.
Verse 3
The captive to release, to God the lost to bring, to teach the way of life and peace, it is a Christ-like thing.
Verse 4
And we believe thy word, though dim our faith may be; whate'er for thine we do, O Lord, we do it unto thee.
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.
