Upon their knees they offered the precious gifts they did bring,
To celebrate the humble birth of the Eternal King.
For to this fallen, sinful world,
Recovery thus was given.
To this world Jesus, the most precious gift was given;
He gave his life that all might live forever with him.
He asks only one gift from us;
Our hearts so that he, alone, may dwell therein.
“Not as I will, but as Thou will; on his knees prayed he;
Not as we will, but as Thou will make our lives to be.
May Jesus bless each friend and foe upon this joyous Christmas day,
That all may kneel to give their hearts to loving him without end.
