Gracious Giving

Tune: St George\'s, Windsor

(\'Come ye thankful people, come\')

1 Chronicles 29 v.9 - 14

***********

David and people prepared

To build Temple, they all shared

Brought their offerings gladly

David\'s son Solomon, see

Would lead the building teams, he

All things he would oversee

It be for God\'s glory great

He it sure would consecrate

 

David then the people blessed

Blessed be the LORD, he confessed

Said, O LORD, yours the greatness

Power, victory, holiness

Victory and majesty

For all in heaven, earth, be

Yours, for you all created

Us your people you have fed

 

Yours, LORD, is the kingdom sure

You exalted evermore

As the head above ll things

We bring you our offerings

Riches, honour come from you

You reign over all, \'tis true

In your had is power and might

You will do justice and right

 

You able to make us great

Do not leave us unto fate

You give strength to all beings

All creation to you sings

Now therefore, O God, we praise

Your glorious name, it raise

Give you thanks, you do provide

In you we do trust, confide

 

But who am I, and who are

These my people, small by far

Compared to you, Lord of all

Yet we may upon you call

We humbly and willingly

Offer, yet all things we see

Come from you, and of your own

We have given you, this known
