I have no birthday gifts to bring
From Birthday Poems
Relationships
I have no birthday gifts to bring,
But I will crave a Royal dower,
The sevenfold largesse of the King.
His Peace be thine, His Love unknown ;
His own deep Joy, His Strength and Power,
His Grace abounding, be thine own !
His Rest be thine, sweet rest to-day,
Rest while the swift years pass away,
And then His Glory thine for aye !
