The Wise May Bring Their Learning

Author: Unknown Hymnal: The Children's Hymnbook #164 (1962) Lyrics: 1 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? 2 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 our treasures We offer to the King, And these are gifts that even The poorest child may bring. 3 We'll bring the many duties We have to do each day; We'll try our best to please Him At home, at school or play; And better are these treasures To offer to our King, Than richest gifts without them; Yet these a child may bring.

The wise may bring their learning

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Book of Praise #344 (1997) Lyrics: 1 The wise may bring their learning, the rich may bring their wealth, and some may bring their brilliance, 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? 2 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 our treasures we offer to the King, and these are gifts that even a little 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 our King than richest gifts without them: yet these a child may bring.
