Love - 1 Corinthians 13 (Vol 1 No 82)

If I speak with skill of scholars,

If by faith I move the hills,

If I give myself for burning,

If I cease from all cheap thrills,

I am bankrupt; I am nothing

If my motive is not love.

If my motive is not love.

Love is kind and love is patient;

Love can keep no scores of wrong;

Is not rude and never selfish;

When truth wins, it sings a song.

Never boastful, nor conceited;

Love is that which never ends.

Love is that which never ends.

Love is constant, never failing;

There is nothing love can’t face;

Has no limits to its freshness;

It discloses God’s embrace.

Faith and hope and love continue;

Greatest of them all is love.

Greatest of them all is love.
