1 Corinthians 13

Author Unknown

1
Though I speak with the tongue of men and of angels
Though I speak with the tongue of gold
And have not love, and have not love,
I am become as a sounding brass
Or a tinkling cymbals.

2
And if I have the gifts of prophecy
Understanding every mystery
And my faith were so strong
I could move every mountain
But have not love, but have not love
I count for nothing.

Refrain 1:
Love suffer all and love is kind;
Envies not; vaunts not itself;
Love does not speak its own
But that of its beloved.

3
Though I give my possessions to feed the poor
'Til I be myself rendered poor,
Though I give my body to be burned
But have not love, ye even this,
Will profit nothing.

4
Love rejoices not in iniquity
But rejoices in the truth;
Love bears everything, love bears everything;
Love believes everything, hopes everything;
Love endures for always.

Refrain 2:
And now abide faith, hope and hope.
Now abide faith, hope and love.
These three abide for always
But the greatest is love... is LOVE!
