Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost,
Taught by thee we covet most,
Of thy gifts at Pentecost,
Holy, heavenly love.
|
|
Love is kind, and suffers long,
Love is meek, and thinks no wrong,
Love than death itself more strong;
Therefore, give us love.
|
|
Prophecy will fade away,
Melting in the light of day;
Love will ever with us stay;
Therefore, give us love.
|
|
Faith will vanish into sight;
Hope be emptied in delight;
Love in heaven will shine more bright;
Therefore, give us love.
|
|
Faith and hope and love we see,
Joining hand in hand, agree,
But the greatest of the three
And the best, is love.
|
|
From the overshadowing
Of thy gold and silver wing,
Shed on us, who to thee sing,
Holy, heavenly love.
