Mine is the earth, the worlds in all their fulness; Mine, every ocean, river, plain, and hill; Mine are the stars within the heaven’s stillness, Mine are the clouds that wander at their will. |

Mine is the spring, when blossoms sweet are blowing, Wakened from slumb’ring neath the winter snow; Mine, summer’s wealth, with her bright colors glowing; Mine is the fruit rich autumn doth bestow. |

Mine, all the things created: praise the Giver! Fish, and all beasts, the birds upon the wing, Sun-loving butterflies—now and forever; Beauty and grace of every living thing. |

Mine, all things lovely, blessing every hour, Wealth of creation, over and around; Mine is the sun, with its life-giving power, Mine is the music wonderful of sound. |

Mine are the pillars which cannot be shaken— Truth in the Word, the Word that cannot fall. Mine is the wisdom which great thoughts awaken In a man’s soul, that this life is not all. |

Knowledge as needed, skill in all the doing, Mine, when kept closely for my Lord above; Beauty and wisdom, living streams e’er flowing Fresh from the springs of God, the God of love. |

Mine are the battles, triumph-shouts e’er ringing— Joy of the warriors for the truth and right; Mine are the trophies God’s brave ones are bringing, Heroes of faith and overcoming might. |

Mine, mercies granted, and each new awaking, Every experience, and each soul that’s won; Mine, the confessions sinners poor are making, Yea, I am joined with them, one in God’s Son. |

One’ Lord in all, and all one in His Spirit, Heavenly fellowship earth has not known; Faith sees the riches we shall yet inherit, Glorious treasure laid up for His own. |

All in the bounds of earth and sea and heaven, Creation’s wonders and Thy grace are stored: Praise to Thee, Christ, for all the wealth Thou’st given! Poor in myself, but wealthy in my Lord! |
