The gold and silver are the Lord's

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #231 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The gold and silver are the Lord's, And every blessing earth affords; All come from His propitious hand, And must return at His command. 2 The blessings which I now enjoy, I must for Christ and souls employ; For if I use them as my own, My Lord will soon call in His loan. 3 When I to Him in want apply, He never does my suit deny; And shall I then refuse to give, Since I so much from Him receive? 4 Shall Jesus leave the realms of day, And clothe Himself in humble clay? Shall He become despised and poor, To make me rich for ever more? 5 And shall I wickedly withhold To give my silver or my gold? To aid a cause my soul approves, And save the sinners Jesus loves? 6 Expand my heart--incline me, Lord, To give the whole I can afford: That what Thy bounty rendered mine, I may with cheerful hands resign.
