Miss Grace Emma Euhler, of Baltimore, writes that the lines were prompted by
a deep sense of my own need and the all-sufficiency of the great Gift, which expressed itself in the second verse, and then the other two verses grouped themselves around it.Carl Fowler Price
The Christian Advocate, November 28, 1912
O Gift of God, we praise Thee,
That ever Thou didst come
To guide our wayward footsteps
Back to the Father’s home.
O Gift of God, we take Thee
To be our All in All;
We know Thou art sufficient
Whatever may befall.
O Gift of God, we give Thee
Ourselves, Thine own to be;
Accept us, save and keep us
Throughout eternity.
