638. The Wise May Bring Their Learning

Eb  Ab   Bbm7 Ab   Db    Eb        Db  Ab       Bbm7  Eb7   Ab
The wise may bring their learning, The rich may bring their wealth,
Eb  Ab   Db  Ab    Bb7   Eb Bb7 Eb   Db  Ab   Fm    Bbm7     Eb  Ab
And some may bring their great-ness, And some their strength and health:
Ab Eb              Eb7 Ab        Eb7      Ab     Eb
We too would bring our treasures To offer to the King,
Eb Ab   Bbm7 Ab    Db Eb        Db   Ab       Bbm7 Eb7  Ab
We have no  wealth or learning— What shall we chil-dren bring?


[[Full Lyrics]]

[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.
