O Lord of heaven and earth and sea
[Modernised Version]1 O Lord of heaven and earth and sea,
to you all praise and glory be,
who loved us from eternity
and gave us all.
2 The golden sunshine, gentle air,
sweet flowers and fruit, your love declare;
when harvests ripen you are there
you give us all.
3 For peaceful homes and healthful days,
for all the blessings earth displays,
we owe you thankfulness and praise
you give us all.
4 You freely gave your only Son,
who on the cross salvation won;
and in the life through him begun
you give us all.
5 You sent your Spirit from above
as wind and fire and gentle dove;
and in his gifts of power and love
you gave us all.
6 For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven,
for means of grace and hopes of heaven,
to you, O Lord, what can be given?
you give us all.
7 We lose what on ourselves we spend;
we have as treasure without end
whatever, Lord, to you we lend
you give us all.
8 To you, from whom we all derive
our life, our gifts, our power to give:
O may we ever with you live;
you give us all.
