1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost, taught by thee we covet most, of thy gifts at Pentecost, holy heavenly, love.
2 Love is kind, and suffers long, love is meek, and thinks no wrong, love than death itself more strong; therefore, give us love.
3 Prophecy will fade away, melting in the light of day; love will ever with us stay; therefore, give us love.
4 Faith and hope and love we see, joining hand in hand, agree, but the greatest of the three, and the best, is love.
