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
Faith and hope and love we see
Joining hand and hand, agree
But the greatest of the three
And the best, is love
Faith will vanish into sight
Hope be emptied in delight
Love in heaven will shine more bright
Therefore give us love
| |
From the overshadowing
Of Thy gold and silver wing
Shed on us who to Thee sing
Holy, heavenly love
Prophecy will fade away
Melting in the light of day
Love will ever with us stay
Therefore give us love
