Texts and Translations

English text

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; when 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 Holy Spirit's 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, what can to thee be given, who givest all?
