638. The Wise May Bring Their Learning

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— 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. 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.
