Hymn
We Bring No Glittering Treasures
We bring no glitt'ring treasures,
No gems from earth's deep mine;
We come, with simple measures,
To chant thy love divine.
We love Jesus,
We love Jesus,
We love Jesus,
Because he first loved us.
Children, thy favors sharing
Their voice of thanks would raise;
Father, accept our off'ring,
Our song of grateful praise.
The dearest gift of Heaven,
Love's written word of truth,
To us is early given
To guide our steps in youth.
Redeemer, grant thy blessing!
O teach us how to pray,
That each, thy fear possessing,
May tread life's onward way!
Then where the pure are dwelling
We hope to meet again,
And sweeter numbers swelling
Forever praise thy name.
