638 - The Wise May Bring Their Learning

The wise may bring their learning,
The rich may bring their wealth,
And some may bright their greatness,
And some their strength and health:
We too would bright our treasures
To offer to the King,
We have no wealth or learning–
What shall we children bring?

2
We’ll bring Him hearth that love Him,
We’ll bring Him thankful praise,
And young souls meekly striving
To follow in His ways:
And these shall be the treasures
We offer to the King,
And these are gifts that ever
The poorest child may bring.

3
We’ll bring the little duties
We have to do each day;
We’ll try our best to please Him
At home, at school, at play:
And better are these treasures
To offer to the King
Than richest without them:
Yet these a child may bring.
