Cheerful Giving

Palmer Hartsough • English

Primary Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:7

Verse 1

Give as the Lord hath prospered thee, Give, give to the Lord; Give with a willing mind and free, Give, give to the Lord; He hath supplied thee o’er and o’er, Blessed thee in basket and in store, Promised to fill thee more and more, Thy gracious Lord.

Chorus

Give, give with a willing hand, Give, give with a lib'ral hand, Give at His blest command, Who prospered thee, Give at His blest command, Who prospered thee.

Verse 2

Give to the poor along the way, Give, give to the Lord; Give to the heathen far away, Give, give to the Lord; Give to His needy as they cry, Give to His people ere they die, Give to His gospel that it fly, O give, give, give.

Chorus

Give, give with a willing hand, Give, give with a lib'ral hand, Give at His blest command, Who prospered thee, Give at His blest command, Who prospered thee.

Verse 3

Give tho’ so poor thy gift may seem, Give, give to the Lord; Give but the cup in Jesus’ name, Give, give to the Lord; Cheerful then give the good thou hast, Fearless thy bread on waters cast, It will return to thee at last In harvest great.

Chorus

Give, give with a willing hand, Give, give with a lib'ral hand, Give at His blest command, Who prospered thee, Give at His blest command, Who prospered thee.
