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.
