The wise may bring their learning
Author: Anon. Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 117 hymnals Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:22 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 to love him;
We'll bring him thankful praise,
And young souls meekly striving
To walk in holy ways:
And these shall be the treasures
We offer to the King,
And these are gifts that even
The poorest child may bring.
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 gifts without them;
Yet these a child may bring.
Amen. Topics: Common Duties and Things; Love For Christ or God; Obedience; Offerings; Riches Used With Tune: ELLON
The wise may bring their learning
O God of earth and altar
Author: G. K. Chesterton, 1874-1936 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:10-11 Lyrics: 1 O God of earth and altar,
bow down and hear our cry,
our earthly rulers falter,
our people drift and die;
the walls of gold entomb us,
the swords of scorn divide,
take not thy thunder from us,
but take away our pride.
2 From all that terror teaches,
from lies of tongue and pen,
from all the easy speeches
that comfort cruel men,
from sale and profanation
of honour and the sword,
from sleep and from damnation,
deliver us, good Lord!
3 Tie in a living tether
the prince and priest and thrall,
bind all our lives together,
smite us and save us all;
in ire and exultation
aflame with faith, and free,
lift up a living nation,
a single sword to thee. Topics: National; Remembrance Sunday Used With Tune: KING'S LYNN
O God of earth and altar
