The Wise May Bring Their Learning

Anonymous • English

Primary Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:22

Verse 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 gifts deserving: What shall we children bring?

Verse 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 youngest child may bring.

Verse 3

We'll come and show the Savior The things we 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.
