Lord, Thou Lov’st the Cheerful Giver

Lord

Thou lov’st the cheer­ful giv­er

Who with op­en heart and hand

Blesses free­ly

as a riv­er

That re­fresh­es all the land.

Grant us then the grace of giving

With a spir­it large and free

That our life and all our liv­ing

We may con­se­crate to Thee.

We are Thine

Thy mer­cy sought us

Found us in death’s dread­ful way

To the fold in safe­ty brought us

Nevermore from Thee to stray.

Thine own life Thou free­ly gav­est

As an of­fer­ing on the cross

For each sin­ner whom Thou sav­est

From eter­nal shame and loss.

Blest by Thee with gifts and grac­es

May we heed Thy church’s call:

Gladly in all times and plac­es

Give to Thee who giv­est all.

Thou hast bought us

and no long­er

Can we claim to be our own;

Ever free and ev­er strong­er

We shall serve Thee

Lord

alone.

Savior

Thou hast free­ly giv­en

All the bless­ings we en­joy.

Earthly store and bread of Heav­en

Love and peace with­out al­loy;

Humbly now we bow be­fore Thee

And our all to Thee re­sign;

For the king­dom

pow­er and glo­ry

Are

O Lord

for­ev­er Thine.
