1. Though I may speak with bravest fire,
And have the gift to all inspire,
And have not love, my words are vain;
As sounding brass, and hopeless gain.

2. Though I may give all I possess,
And striving so my love profess,
But not be giv'n by love within,
The profit soon turns strangely thin.

Come Spirit, come, our hearts control.
Our spirits long to be made whole,
Let inward love guide ev'ry deed;
By this we worship, and are freed.
