Annie Johns Flint
When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere that day is half done
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources,
His love has no limit,
His grace has no measure,
His power has no boundary known unto men;
For out of his infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth and giveth again.
He Giveth More Grace Hymn 1941

And ever stands with open hands,
And while it lives it gives.

To give – and give – and give.
