638. The Wise May Bring Their Learning

Verse 1

The wise may bring their learning,

The rich may bring their wealth,

And some may bring their greatness,

And some their strength and health:

We too would bring our treasures

To offer to the King,

We have no wealth or learning—

Verse 1

We’ll bring Him hearts that love Him,

We’ll bring Him thankful praise,

And young souls meekly striving

To follow in His ways:

And these be the treasures

We offer to the King,

And these are gifts that ever

The poorest child may bring.

Verse 2

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 gift without them:

Yet these a child may bring.
