Let Us Bring Him a Gift of Joy as Did the Little Drummer Boy

As once more we approach

the Birthday of OUR KING–

Do we search our hearts

for a GIFT we can bring,

Do we stand by in awe

like the small DRUMMER BOY

Who had no rare jewels,

not even a toy,

To lay at Christ’s Crib

like the Wise Men of old

Who brought precious gifts

of Silver and Gold–

But the Drummer Boy played

for the Infant Child

And the Baby Jesus

looked up and smiled,

For the boy had given

the best that he had

And his gift from the heart

made the Saviour glad–

And today He still smiles

on all those who bring

THEIR HEARTS to lay

at the FEET OF THE KING.

May we all remember the true meaning of Christmas this year
