- 1The 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?
- 2We’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.
- 3We’ll bring the little dutiesWe have to do each day;We’ll try our best to please Him,At home, at school, at playAnd better are these treasuresTo offer to our KingThan richest gifts without them;Yet these a child may bring.Amen.
