Author: Harriet C. Phillips Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8480 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 We bring no glittering treasures,
No gems from earth’s deep mine;
We come, with simple measures,
To chant Thy love divine.
Children, Thy favors sharing,
Their voice of thanks would raise,
Father, accept our offering,
Our song of grateful praise.
2 The dearest gift of Heaven,
Love’s written word of truth,
To us is early given,
To guide our steps in youth.
We hear the wondrous story,
The tale of Calvary;
We read of homes in glory,
From sin and sorrow free.
3 Redeemer, grant Thy blessing,
O, teach us how to pray!
That each, Thy fear possessing,
May tread life’s onward way.
Then, where the pure are dwelling,
We’ll hope to meet again;
And, sweeter numbers swelling,
For ever praise Thy name. Languages: English Tune Title: MADEIRA
