Gracious Giving

Tune: Morning Hymn

(\'Awake my soul, and with the sun\')

Matthew 6 v.1-4

********

Take heed that you do not do your

Giving to be seen of men sure

Your alms and charitable deeds

what you do plant, they goodly seeds

 

For if you give to be seen by

Men, your reward from you shall fly

For them you have no reward from

Your Father in heaven, no, none

 

When you give alms, sound not trumpet

To draw attention to you yet

For hypocrites they do so, to

Have glory from people anew

 

That be their reward, but when you

Give alms, do not let left hand view

What right hand does, so shall you see

Your Father reward openly
