John Keble: To give is the only way to live

Largely Thou givest, gracious Lord.
Largely Thy gifts should be restored;
Freely Thou givest, and Thy word
Is, “Freely Give.”
He only, who forgets to hoard
Has learned to live.

John Keble (1792-1866) Anglican churchman and poet in The Christian Year, reading for the Sunday after Ascension.
