Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.6.8.6.6 Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Not for tongues of Heaven's angels,
Not for wisdom to discern,
Not for faith that masters mountains,
For this better gift we yearn:
May love be ours, O Lord.
2. Love is humble, love is gentle,
Love is tender, true, and kind;
Love is gracious, ever patient,
Generous of heart and mind:
May love be ours, O Lord.
3. Never jealous, never selfish,
Love will not rejoice in wrong;
Never boastful nor resentful,
Love believes and suffers long:
May love be ours, O Lord.
4. In the day this world is fading,
Faith and hope will play their part,
But when Christ is seen in glory,
Love shall reign in every heart:
May love be ours, O Lord. Topics: Epiphany Valentine of Terni Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13 Used With Tune: BRIDEGROOM
