The Wise May Bring Their Learning

Author: Unknown Appears in 117 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The wise may bring their learning, The rich may bring their wealth, And some may bring their greatness, And some bring 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? 2 We'll bring Him hearts that love Him, We'll bring Him thankful praise, And young souls meekly striving To walk in holy ways: And these shall be our treasures We offer to the King, And these are gifts that even The poorest child may bring. 3 We'll bring the many duties We have to do each day; We'll try our best to please Him At home, at school or play; And better are these treasures To offer to our King, Than richest gifts without them; Yet these a child may bring.

There Is a Green Hill Far Away

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Appears in 693 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away, Outside a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. 2 We may not know, we cannot tell, What pains He had to bear; But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. 3 He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to Heaven, Saved by His precious blood. 4 There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin; He only could unlock the gate Of Heaven, and let us in. 5 O dearly, dearly has He loved! And we must love Him too, And trust in His redeeming blood And try His works to do. Topics: Jesus on Earth Used With Tune: HORSLEY

This is my Father's world; He shines in all that's fair; In the rustling grass I hear Him pass; He speaks to me everywhere. 3 This is my Father's world; Oh, let me ne'er forget That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet.
