638   The Wise May Bring Their Learning




[1]
The wise may bring their learning
The rich may bring their wealth
And some may bring their greatness
And some their 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 follow in His ways:
And these be the treasures
We offer to the King
And these are gifts that ever
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 the King
Than richest gift without them:
Yet these a child may bring.
