English Lyrics
Verse 1
The wise may bring their learning, The rich may bring their wealth, And some may bright their greatness, And some their strength and health: We too would bright our treasures To offer to the King, We have no wealth or learning–What shall we children bring?
Verse 2
We'll bring Him hearth that love Him, We'll bring Him thankful praise, And young souls meekly striving To follow in His ways: And these shall be the treasures We offer to the King, And these are gifts that ever The poorest child may bring.
Verse 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 treasuresTo offer to the King Than richest without them: Yet these a child may bring.
