The wise may bring

Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: Childhood and Youth Childhood First Line: The wise may bring their learning 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 that 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 our King, Than richest gifts without them; Yet these a child may bring.

Hosanna! Great Teacher, we raise Our hearts and our voices in hymning Thy praise; For precept and promise so graciously given, For blessings of earth, and for glories of heaven, For blessings of earth, and for glories of heaven.
