447. O Lord of Heaven and Earth and Sea

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?

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

3 For souls redeemed, for sins forgiv'n,
For means of grace and hopes of heav'n,
Father, what can to Thee be giv'n
Who givest all?

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

5 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!

Amen.
