Author: F. G. Burroughs Hymnal: Living Hymns #33 (1890) First Line: Gifts we bring to our King Refrain First Line: For our gifts the Lord hath need Lyrics: 1. Gifts we bring to our King,
Every heart an offering,--
Loving deeds for Jesus’ sake
Are the best gifts we can make:
Chorus:
For our gifts the Lord hath need;
He will bless each loving deed,
He will bless each loving deed,
And the children’s off’ring heed.
2 Praise we bring to our King,
And of God’s great love-gift sing,
While the story we repeat
Of the Christmas babe, so sweet!
Chorus:
For our praise the Lord hath need;
When we love in truth and deed,
When we love in truth and deed,
Children’s praises he will heed.
3 Gifts we bring to our King,
While the merry chime-bells ring,
Kind words from our lips shall fall,
Cheerful smiles we’ll give to all:
Chorus:
For our gifts the Lord hath need;
He will bless each kindly deed,
He will bless each kindly deed,
And the words of children heed. Languages: English Tune Title: [Gifts we bring to our King]
