O God, Thou Giver of All Good

O God

Thou Giv­er of all good;

Thy child­ren live by dai­ly food;

And dai­ly must the pray­er be said

Give us this day our dai­ly bread.

The life of earth and seed is Thine;

Suns glow

rains fall

by pow­er di­vine;

Thou art in all; not e’en the pow­ers

By which we toil for bread are ours.

What large pro­vi­sion Thou hast made!

As large as is Thy child­ren’s need;

How wide the boun­te­ous love is spread!

Wide as the want of dai­ly bread.

Since ev­ery day by Thee we live

May grate­ful hearts Thy gifts re­ceive;

And may the hands be pure from stain

With which our dai­ly bread we gain.
