Had I The Tongues Of Greeks And Jews

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11318 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews, And nobler speech than angels use, If love be absent, I am found Like tinkling brass, an empty sound. 2 Were I inspired to preach and tell All that is done in Heav’n and hell, Or could my faith the world remove, Still I am nothing without love. 3 Should I distribute all my store To feed the bowels of the poor, Or give my body to the flame, To gain a martyr’s glorious name; 4 If love to God and love to men Be absent, all my hopes are vain: Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal, The work of love can e’er fulfill.
