A tenth of everything I have, I give it back to Thee.
Only a tenth? It is all Thine; I use it but it is not mine,
Nor can it ever be.
A tenth of every day I give, to work for Thee and Thine.
Only a tenth? Why, every hour I am sustained by Thy great power,
Thy providence divine.
A tenth of all my thoughts I give, in humble constant prayer.
Only a tenth? In Thee I live and move and breathe, while I receive
And trust Thy constant care.
With all I have, with every thought, in Thy love I abide.
I spread Thy word; Thy blessings pour upon my heart. I ask no more;
And I am satisfied.
