Since we, and all our treasures too,
Are his who reigns above;
Then is there nothing we can do,
To prove our grateful love?
A broken heart he'll not despise —
It is his chief delight;
This is a humble sacrifice,
Well pleasing in his sight.
The' treasures brought before his throne
Would no acceptance find,
He kindly condescends to own
A meek and lowly mind.
This is an off'ring we may bring,
However mean our store;
The poorest child, the greatest king,
Can give him nothing more.

Would no acceptance find,

A meek and lowly mind.

However mean our store;
The poorest child, the greatest king,
Can give him nothing more.
