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.
