All Things are Thine No Gift Have We
{ All Things are Thine No Gift Have We by John G. Whittier, 1872 GERMANY-William Gardiner, Sacred Melodies, 1815 HERR JESU CHRIST-Pensum Sacrum, 1648 (arr. Johann Sebastian Bach) MELCOMBE-Samuel Webbe MISSIONARY CHANT-Heinrich Christopher Zeuner All Things are Thine; No Gift Have We } All Things are thine; no gift have we, Lord of all gifts, to offer thee; And hence with grateful hearts to-day Thine own before thy feet we lay. Thy will was in the builders' thought; Thy hand unseen amidst us wrought; Through mortal motive, scheme, and plan, Thy wise eternal purpose ran. In weakness and in want we call On thee for whom the heavens are small; Thy glory is thy children's good, Thy joy thy tender fatherhood. O Father, deign these walls to bless; Fill with thy love their emptiness; And let their door a gateway be To lead us from ourselves to thee. Amen. |
