Because I have been given much, I too must give; Because of thy great bounty Lord, Each day I live; I shall divide my gifts from thee With every brother that I see Who has the need of help from me. Because I have been sheltered, fed By thy good care; I cannot see another's lack and I not share; My glowing fire, my loaf of bread, My roof's safe shelter overhead That he too may be comforted. I shall give love to those in need, I'll show that love by word and deed; Thus shall my thanks be thanks indeed.
