To thee all praise and glory be;
How shall we show our love to Thee,
Who givest all ?
2. The golden sunshine, vernal air,
Sweet flowers and fruits Thy love declare:
Where harvests ripen, Thou art there,
Who givest all.
3. For peaceful homes and healthful days
For all the blessings earth displays
We owe Thee thankfulness and praise
Who givest all.
4. Thou didn't not spare Thine only Son,
But gav'st Him for a world undone,
And freely with that blessed One
Thou givest all.
5. Thou giv'st the spirit's blessed dower,
Spirit of life and love and power,
And dost His sevenfold graces shower
Upon us all.
6. For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven,
For means of grace and hopes of heaven,
Father, all praise to Thee be given,
Who givest all.
