What Shall We Offer? (Duke Street)

Lyrics

Chorus

(Der Konig ruht, und schauet doch)

1

What shall we offer our good Lord,
Poor nothings, for His boundless grace?
Fain would we His great name record
And worthily set forth His praise.

2

Great object of our growing love,
To Whom our more than all we owe?
Open the fountain from above,
And let it our full souls o’erflow.

3

So shall our lives Thy power proclaim,
Thy grace for every sinner free,
Till all mankind shall learn Thy name,
Till all stretch out their hands to Thee.

4

Open a door which earth and hell
May strive to shut, but strive in vain;
Let Thy word richly in us dwell,
And let our gracious fruit remain.

5

O multiply the sower’s seed!
And fruit we every hour shall bear,
Throughout the world Thy gospel spread,
Thy everlasting truth declare.
