1 Some have their learning to offer,
Gifts to the King;
Some have rich jewels to proffer,
Gifts to the King.
Some can bring honor and some can bring art,
Some bring what power and wealth can impart,—
I bring the trust and the love of my heart,
Gifts to the King.
2 All of my strength will I bring him,
Gifts to the King;
Songs in his honor will sing him,
Gifts to the King.
Faithfully given to him and exprest,
Love brightly glowing in one honest breast;
These are the gifts that our Master loves best—
Gifts to the King.
3 Faithfully doing each duty,
Gifts to the King
Days full of kindness and beauty,
Gifts to the King;
Where there is need of me gladly to go,
Pity and help to give where there is woe;
All that a heart can give I would bestow,
Gifts to the King.
