Our Gift to HIM+ !

What shall I give HIM+, 

poor as I am ? 

If I were a shepherd, 

I would bring HIM+ a lamb. 

If I were a sinner, 

I would bring HIM+ my sins;

 HE+ promises to cleanse me

 without, within.

A Babe ? No, a Decision

with Divine Precision

At Time Appointed

By Our FATHER WHO art in Heaven.

HE+ brings us His+ Life;

We bring HIM+ ours.

We lay  down our strife, 

our pride, our mean-ness;

HE+ fills us with peace, 

and loving meekness.

What CAN  I give HIM+ ?

What is my part ?

My empty Self ... ? ?

O, Come, LORD JESUS,

fill  THEE+ my  heart  !
