Lyrics

Lord Je­sus, bless­èd Giv­er,
We give of Thine to Thee;
Thy gifts are like a riv­er,
Full flow­ing, wide and free.
So let our love, out­go­ing
Among the songs of men,
Thy strength and joy be­stow­ing,
Return Thy gifts again.

O give us of Thy Spir­it
That joys to give Its all;
Thy voice—O when we hear it
May we ob­ey its call.
That voice whose call is plead­ing
From na­tions far away—
We hear it, we are heed­ing;
Lord, help us to ob­ey.
