O gracious hand that freely gives

Verse 1

O gracious Hand that freely gives The fruit of earth our toil to bless! O Love, by which the sinner lives, O let our tongue that love confess!

Verse 2

Our God for all our need provides; His sun alike o'er all doth shine; From none His glorious beams He hides; So rich, so free, His love divine.

Verse 3

Again this love our garners fills; This love again let all adore; The cry of want this bounty stills, Who biddeth all His Name implore.

Verse 4

O may our lives through grace abound, In holy fruits, and Thee proclaim! Let all Thy courts with praises sound Thy gracious hand, Thy wondrous Name.

Verse 5

Lord, when Thou shalt descend from heaven, Thy ransomed harvest here to reap, May in that day Thy joy be given To those who now go forth and weep. Amen.
