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?

Jesus Blessing The Children

Cecily Mary Barker

(1895-1973)

English illustrator

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 these treasures

To offer to our King

Than richest gifts without them;

Yet these a child may bring.

Amen
