1 Chronicles 29:9: The Lord a cheerful giver loves
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
The Lord a cheerful giver loves;
A cheerful giver loves the Lord,
And while by works his faith he proves.
Receives an hundred-fold reward.
With joy restores what God had given,
Bless'd with anticipated heaven.
