Our Gifts to Jesus

1 What can we give to Jesus,
That He would prize the most,
That would, when known in heaven,
Rejoice the angel host?
Not gold, nor precious jewels,
Could such an off'ring be;
These were a gift unworthy
Of such a friend as He.

Chorus:
We'll give our hearts to Jesus;
No gift that we could bring.
Would be a better present,
For Christ, the children's King.

2 We may not govern riches,
Our talents may be few,
Yet surely there is something
That we for Him may do.
He owns the lovely flowers,
The earth, and heav'n above;
He asks us not for riches--
He only wants our love. [Chorus]

3 We know that He will take us,
For He has told us so;
He'll purify and cleanse us,
And wash us white as snow.
He'll always, dwell within us,
And make us sweet and mild,
Just like the gentle Savior,
The sinless, holy child. [Chorus]
