Christingle Hymn:

We haven't come from far

1

We haven't come from far,
Like wise men did of old;
We can't bring Jesus myrrh,
Or frankincense, or gold:
But here's a bouncing ball, *
And here's a box of bricks,
And here's a woolly toy,
So every child can enjoy
Christmas!
Christmas!
Christmas!

2

We've come from very near,
Like shepherds did of old;
But we haven't got a fleece
For Jesus, if he's cold:
Chorus

* It is intended that other gifts shall be named to suit the circumstances.
