All Things Are Thine

John Greenleaf Whittier (1872) • English

Primary Scripture: 1 Kings 8:22-30

Verse 1

All things are Yours; nothing of ours, we bring to You, Lord of all powers; and hence with grateful hearts today Your own before Your feet we lay.

Verse 2

Your will was in the builders' thought; Your hand unseen amidst us wrought; through mortal motive, scheme and plan, Your wise eternal purpose ran.

Verse 3

In weakness and in want we call on You, for whom the heavens are small; Your glory is Your children's good, Your joy, Your tender fatherhood.

Verse 4

O Lord, be pleased these walls to bless; fill with Your love their emptiness, and let their door become a way to lead us to eternal day.
