1
Lord of Glory who hast bought us
With Thy lifeblood as the price
Never grudging for the lost ones
That tremendous sacrifice
And with that hast freely given
Blessings countless as the sand
To the unthankful and the evil
With Thine own unsparing hand
2
Grant us hearts dear Lord to yield Thee
Gladly freely of Thine own
With the sunshine of Thy goodness
Melt our thankless hearts of stone
Till our cold and selfish natures
Warmed by Thee at length believe
That more happy and more blessed ’
Tis to give than to receive
3
Wondrous honor hast Thou given
To our humblest charity
In Thine own mysterious sentence
Ye have done it unto Me
Can it be O gracious Master
Thou dost deign for alms to sue
Saying by Thy poor and needy
Give as I have given you
4
Yes the sorrow and the suffering
Which on every hand we see
Channels are for tithes and offerings
Due by solemn right to Thee
Right of which we may not rob Thee
Debt we may not choose but pay
Lest that face of love and pity
Turn from us another day
5
Lord of Glory who hast bought us
With Thy lifeblood as the price
Never grudging for the lost ones
That tremendous sacrifice
Give us faith to trust Thee boldly
Hope to stay our souls on Thee
But O best of all Thy graces
Give us Thine own charity
