Lyics

THE gold and silver are the Lord's,

And every blessing earth affords:

All come from his propitious hand,

And must return at his command.



Oh then! shall I refuse to give

What he is willing to receive;

To aid a cause my soul approves--

A cause that every angel loves?



Forbid it, Lord; my heart incline,

To render to thee what is thine,

To give as thou hast prosper'd me,

'Tis thus I serve and honor thee.
