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. Topics: Benevolence Languages: English

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "The gold and silver are the Lord's" in A Collection of Hymns, for the use of the United Brethren in Christ In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
