Because I Have Been Given Much Crowell / Landgrave Because I have been given much I too must give. Because of thy great bounty Lord Each day I live, I shall divide gifts from thee With every brother that 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 saved shelter overhead That he to me be comforted. Because love has been lavished so Upon me, Lord, A wealth I know that was not meant For me to hoard, I shall give love to those in need, Shall show that love by word and deed, Thus shall my thanks be thanks indeed.
