What Shall We Give

What shall we give to the babe in the manger,
What shall we offer the child in the stall?
Incense and spices and gold we've a-plenty-
Are these the gifts for the king of us all?
Tan ta tan tan ta ta tan ta ta tan ta
Ta ta tan tan ta ta tan ta ta ta
What shall we give to the boy in the temple,
What shall we offer the man by the sea?
Palms at his feet and hosannas uprising;
Are these for him who will carry the tree?
Tan ta tan tan ta ta tan ta ta tan ta
Tan ta tan tan ta ta tan ta ta ta
What shall we give to the lamb who was offered,
Rising the third day and shedding his love?
Tears for his mercy we'll weep at the manger,
Bathing the infant come down from above.
