Here we come with gladness

Here we come with gladness

Published in 8 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Here we come with gladness,
Gifts of love to bring,
Giving, giving, giving,
All to Christ the King.

2 Small may be the off'ring,
But the lord will use
Every gift we bring him;
None will he refuse.
