The Wise May Bring Their Learning

[135 words] 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 treasuresTo 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 strivingTo walk in holy ways;And these shall be the treasuresWe offer to the King,And these are gifts that evenThe poorest child may bring. We’ll bring the little dutiesWe have to do each day;We’ll try our best to please Him,At home, at school, at play;And better are these treasuresTo offer to our King;Than richest gifts without them:Yet these a child may bring. via Book of Praise for Children (1881)…
