Written by Bishop Christopher Wordsworth in 1863, this hymn celebrates God as the giver of all good gifts—sunshine, harvests, peaceful homes—and calls the faithful to respond with praise and generosity.

Verse 1

O Lord of Heav'n and earth and sea,
To Thee all praise and glory be;
How shall we show our love to Thee,
Who givest all?

Verse 2

The golden sunshine, vernal air,
Sweet flow'rs and fruits, Thy love declare;
Where harvests ripen, Thou art there,
Who givest all.

Verse 3

For peaceful homes and healthful days,
For all the blessings earth displays,
We owe Thee thankfulness and praise,
Who givest all.

Verse 4

Thou didst not spare Thine only Son,
But gav'st Him for a world undone,
And freely, with that blessèd One,
Thou givest all.

Verse 5

Thou giv'st the Spirit's blessèd dow'r,
Spirit of life and love and pow'r,
And dost His sev'nfold graces show'r Upon us all.

Verse 6

For souls redeemed, for sins forgiv'n,
For means of grace and hopes of Heav'n,
Father, all praise to Thee be giv'n,
Who givest all.

Verse 7

We lose what on ourselves we spend,
We have as treasure without end Whatever,
Lord, to Thee we lend,
Who givest all.

Verse 8

To Thee,
from Whom we all derive Our life,
our gifts, our power to give:
O may we ever with Thee live,

Who givest all.
