Wise may bring their learning

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 638.

Verse 1

Wise may bring their learning, The rich may bring their wealth, And some may bring their greatness, And some their 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?

Verse 2

We’ll bring Him hearts that love Him, We’ll bring Him thankful praise, And young souls meekly striving To follow in His ways: And these 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 treasures To offer to the King Than richest gift without them: Yet these a child may bring.
