Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost (EN 4871)

EN 4871 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost

1Cor.13.2

Versi Version 1

1

Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost,

Taught by Thee we covet most

Of Thy gifts of Pentecost

Holy, heavenly Love.

2

Faith, that mountains could remove,

Tongues of earth or heaven above,

Knowledge—all things—empty prove,

Without heavenly Love.

3

Though I as a martyr bleed,

Give my goods the poor to feed,

All is vain—if Love I need;

Therefore, give us Love.

4

Love is kind, and suffers long

Love is meek, and thinks no wrong,

Love than death itself more strong;

Therefore, give us Love.

5

Prophecy will fade away,

Melting in the light of day,

Love will ever with us stay;

Therefore, give us Love.

6

Faith will vanish into sight;

Hope be emptied in delight;

Love in heaven will shine more bright;

Therefore, give us Love.

7

Faith and Hope and Love we see

Joining hand in hand agree;

But the greatest of the three,

And the best, is Love.

8

From the overshadowing

Of Thy gold and silver wing

Shed on us, who to Thee sing,

Holy, heavenly Love.
