Chorus: Wouldst bring a gift to Jesus, That he will count most sweet? Say, "Lord, my heart I give thee," And lay it at his feet. 2 Apart from other givers A poor wayfarer stood; He saw the gifts they offered, The poorest counted good, And he was filled with longing, A gift, tho' poor, to bring; Alas! all empty handed He stood before the King. [Chorus] 3 "Dear Lord," he cried in sorrow, "I know how kind thou art, Take all I have to give thee, My sinful, wayward heart." Then Jesus answered softly, "Count not the gift as small, Tho' all of them are precious, Thine is the best of all.
