Db  Gb   Abm7 Gb   B     Db        B   Gb       Abm7  Db7   Gb
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:
Gb Db              Db7 Gb        Db7      Gb     Db
We too would bring our treasures To offer to the King,
Db Gb   Abm7 Gb    B  Db        B    Gb       Abm7 Db7  Gb
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.
