Original text and translations

English text <poem> 1. O Lord of heaven and earth and sea,

  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 didst 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.
