A Melhor Dádiva

The Greatest Gift

A Melhor Dádiva

1. They brought their offerings to the feet of the Savior,1. Traziam as ofertas aos pés do Salvador,
And all the sacrifice showed to be of love.E todo o sacrifício mostrava ser de amor.
No offering was made in vain;Nenhuma oferenda tornava sem valor;
All were accepted by the gentle Savior.A todas aceitava, o meigo Salvador.

CHORUS: Also, Lord, I wantCORO: Também, Senhor eu quero
To bring you this Gift,Trazer-te este Dom,
Unworthy, but sincere:Indigno, mas sincero:
The impure heart.O impuro coração.

2. Far away, withdrawn, is a sinner;2. Ao longe, retraído, está um pecador;
Seeing the donations, his soul suffers in pain.Ao ver os donativos, sua alma sofre em dor.
He has no gift to give to the Savior!Não tem nenhuma prenda pra dar ao Salvador!
With tearful eyes, he pleads fervently:Com olhos lacrimosos, suplica com fervor:

3. 'O Master,' he exclaims, distressed, 'I know how bad I am;3. "Ó Mestre", exclama, aflito, "eu sei quão mau eu sou;
But take the poor offering: My heart I give to You.'Mas toma a pobre oferta: Meu coração Te dou."
Jesus answers, gently: 'I accepted the gift;Jesus responde, manso: "A dádiva aceitei;
Of all the offerings, yours I loved the most!'De todas as ofertas, a tua Eu mais amei!"
