THE CHILDREN'S OFFERING.
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 the gifts that even
A little 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.
