Author: Anon. Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #657 (1961) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Hymnal Title: Trinity Hymnal Lyrics: 1 The wise may bring their learning,
The rich may bring their wealth,
And some may bring their greatness,
And some bring strength and health;
We, too, would bring our treasures
To offer to the King;
We have no wealth or learning:
What shall we children bring?
2 We'll bring him hearts to love him;
We'll bring him thankful praise,
And young souls meekly striving
To walk in holy ways:
And these shall be the treasures
We offer to the King,
And these are gifts that even
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 gifts without them;
Yet these a child may bring.
Amen. Topics: Common Duties and Things; Love For Christ or God; Obedience; Offerings; Riches Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:22 Languages: English Tune Title: ELLON
