Ab  Db   Ebm7 Db   Gb    Ab        Gb  Db       Ebm7  Ab7   Db
The wise may bring their learning, The rich may bring their wealth,

And some may bring their great-ness, And some their strength and health:

We too would bring our treasures To offer to the King,
Ab Db   Ebm7 Db    Gb Ab        Gb   Db       Ebm7 Ab7  Db
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.
