No gold have I, my Lord and King, For gold Thou bidd'st me not to seek: But from a heart surrendered, meek. The treasure of my love I bring. No frankincense to give delight Such as the kings of earth demand: But faith that takes Thee by the hand. And trusts Thee in the darkest night. M y myrrh shall be the bitter-sweet Of hope that sees through toil and tears Thy Blessed Face beyond the years: These gifts I lay before Thy feet. —Betty Bmeohert D E C E M B E R , 1 9 5 2 * ¥ * THREE GIFTS
