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 695 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

Lived on earth our Saviour holy.

And ask for a share in His love.

Little Children, Come to Jesus
Author: Mrs. C. L. Holmes Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Little children, come to Jesus;
Hear Him saying, "Come to Me" –
Blessed Jesus, who to save us,
Shed his blood on Calvary.
Little souls were made to serve Him,
All His holy law fulfill;
Little hearts were made to love Him,
Little hands to do His will.

Given from the Heavens above,
Little ears to hear the story
Of the Saviour's wondrous love,
Little tongues to sing His praises,
Little feet to walk His ways,
Little bodies to be temples
Where the Holy Spirit stays. Topics: Living For Jesus Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

In darkness or by day.

But what is sent from Heaven.

O Little Town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee lie!

The silent stars go by.

The everlasting light;
The hopes and fears of all the years,
Are met in thee tonight.

And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.

Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
