Original text and translations
English text
- 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.
Lyrics: Christopher Wordsworth, 1862.
