Text:

Shall I gather emr'lds, shall I bring him gold?
Shall I shower diamonds, white-hard, bright-cold?
Shall I spangle jewels like stars above?
Give him laughter, bring peace-filled laughter ,
Offer him warm laughter and love.

Simplest of gifts, gentlest of hearts;
kindness he'll use as he leads .
So, give him these gifts, hand him your hearts,
Honor his birth and you'll need no
Emr'lds nor rubies, silver nor gold;
neither bright diamonds, white-hard, bright-cold
Spangle not rich jewels like stars above;
You'll have laughter, sweet peace-filled laughter,
simple warm laughter and love.
