Easter Gifts

Oh

what shall we bring to the Sav­ior

The ris­en and glo­ri­ous King

As now

on this day of re­joic­ing

His migh­ty re­demp­tion we sing?

A pur­pose un­fal­ter­ing and ear­nest

A love that is ar­dent and pure

And prais­es the glad­dest and sweet­est

Are gifts that may ev­er en­dure.

We bring the heart’s tru­est de­vo­tion

We con­se­crate all that we own;

Our serv­ice so rea­dy and loy­al

We pledge to our mas­ter alone.

The gold and the sil­ver He gives us

The poor and ne­glect­ed shall share;

And here

in the tem­ple of wor­ship

We of­fer the in­cense of pray­er.

The fruits of de­vout self de­ni­al

We bring to the Lord on this day

With hearts that are trust­ful and lov­ing

And bear His rich bless­ing away.

We’ll tell to the pri­son­ers of sor­row

With sym­pa­thy fer­vent and deep

That Je­sus

the ris­en Re­deem­er

His pro­mise for­ev­er will keep.
