All that the earth can yield,
All that seeds can hold,
Sheep within the fold;
    Fruit of a heavy field
    Or fallen from tree and vine:
    They are already thine.

All that I think I own,
All within my hand,
House and plot of land;
    All that I've reaped and sown
    And all that the world calls mine:
    They are already thine.

All of the dreams of youth,
Memories of age,
Life at every stage;
    All that I know of truth
    And all that is sweet and fine:
    It is already thine.

All of the trust I've earned,
All the tears I've shed,
Hungry souls I've fed;
    All of the love I've learned,
    Lord: what is truly mine,
    It is already thine.
