There are three lessons I would write

Author: J. C. Schiller, 1759-1805 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There are three lessons I would write, Three words as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light, Upon the hearts of men. 2 Have faith: where'er thy bark is driven The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth Know this God rules the host of heaven, The inhabitants of earth. 3 Have hope: though clouds environ now, And gladness hides her face in scorn, Put thou the shadow from thy brow; No night but hath its morn. 4 Have love: not love alone for one, But man as man thy brother call, And scatter like the circling sun Thy charities on all. 5 Thus grave these lessons on thy soul Faith, hope, and love, and thou shalt find Strength when life's surges rudest roll, Light when thou else wert blind.
