The gold and silver are the Lord's,
And ev’ry blessing earth affords;
All come from his propitious hand,
And must return at his command.
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.
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?
Shall Jesus leave the realms of day,
And clothe himself in humble clay?
Shall he become despis’d and poor,
To make me rich for ever more?
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?
Expand my heart—incline me Lord,
To give the whole I can afford;
That what thy bounty render’d mine,
I may with cheerful hands resign.
