1. They tell us that the Savior,
When on this plane below,
Sought ev’rywhere to favor
The children He loved so;
For when around Him pressing,
He took each by the hand,
And bade them seek His blessing
In heaven’s sunny land.
(Chorus):
I do, I do, I do,
I very often do
Long to see that land,
Just beyond the blue;
I do, I do, I do,
I very often do
Long to be with Jesus,
Where all is good and true.
2. We bring no glitt’ring treasures,
We bring no wealth of gold,
We come with simple measures,
Thy glory to behold;
We come to seek Thy favor,
Thy touch of love divine,
That we may never waver,
And as the stars may shine.
3. The dearest gift of heaven,
God’s blessed Son of Truth,
Is freely to earth given,
To guide our steps in youth;
So with His fear possessing,
He helps us walk the way,
That brings life’s fullest blessing
And joys that last for aye.
