More Blessed to Give Than to Receive

Verse 1

Help us, O Lord, Thy yoke to wear, Delighting in Thy perfect will; Each other’s burden learn to bear, And thus Thy law of love fulfill.

Verse 2

He that hath pity on the poor Lendeth his substance to the Lord, And lo! his recompense is sure, For more than all shall be restored.

Verse 3

Teach us, with glad, ungrudging heart, As Thou hast blest our various store, From our abundance to impart A liberal portion to the poor.

Verse 4

To Thee our all devoted be, In whom we breathe, and move, and live; Freely we have received from Thee; Freely may we rejoice to give.

Verse 5

Amen.
