1 It is more blessed to give than receive,
If the sweet words of our Lord we believe;
Nothing so sure his approval will win,
Nothing will make us so happy within.

Refrain:
Giving for Jesus! this is our aim,
Giving for Jesus! blest be his name!
Giving for Jesus, we honor his claim,
Giving our all for Jesus.

2 It is more blessed to sing than to sigh,
Giving sweet comfort to those that pass by;
Giving our sympathy, kindness and love,
Winning a crown for a mansions above. [Refrain]

3 It is more blessed to give to our Lord;
Give without grudging or hope of reward;
Give of our substance a want to relieve,
It is more blessed to give than receive. [Refrain]
