We know it is true that wealth comes to few;
Not many their millions can call;
But why should we grieve the while we believe
God giveth his best to all.
To all, to all!
To everyone under the fall!
'Tis Jesus he gives!
A Saviour who lives!
Unspeakable gift to all!
Great riches in gold and goods rare and old,
Luxurious palace and hall;
To one now and then, but hear it, O men!
God giveth his best to all.
To all, to all!
To everyone under the fall!
'Tis Jesus he gives!
A Saviour who lives!
Unspeakable gift to all!
He poureth out love the sinner to move,
Like dew doth his benefits fall;
As free as the air to all everywhere,
God giveth his best to all.
To all, to all!
To everyone under the fall!
'Tis Jesus he gives!
A Saviour who lives!
Unspeakable gift to all!
We now in his name salvation proclaim
From sin in its bitterest thrall!
To all under heaven the Spirit is given,
God giveth his best to all.
To all, to all!
To everyone under the fall!
'Tis Jesus he gives!
A Saviour who lives!
Unspeakable gift to all!
Unspeakable peace! oh, perfect release,
When terrors of dying appal!
Victorious then, I shout it again,
God giveth his best to all.
To all, to all!
To everyone under the fall!
'Tis Jesus he gives!
A Saviour who lives!
Unspeakable gift to all!
