The Wise May Bring Their Learning

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?

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.

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.
