The Voice of Praise ‎#860

860. We bring no glittering treasures, No gems from earth's deep mine

1 We bring no glittering treasures,
No gems from earth's deep mine:
We come, with simple measures,
To chant thy love divine.
Children, thy favors sharing,
Their voice of thanks would raise;
Father, accept our off'ring,
Our song of grateful praise.

2 The dearest gift of heaven,
Love's written word of truth,
To us is early given,
To guide our steps in youth;
We hear the wondrous story,
The tale of Calvary;
We read of homes in glory,
From sin and sorrow free.

3 Redeemer, grant thy blessing!
Oh, teach us how to pray,
That each, thy fear possessing,
May tread life's onward way;
Then, where the pure are dwelling,
We hope to meet again,
And, sweeter numbers swelling,
For ever praise thy Name.
