Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #598 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Hymnal Title: Moravian Book of Worship Lyrics: 1 Of all the Spirit's gifts to me,
I pray that I may never cease
to take and treasure most these three:
love, joy and peace.
2 The Spirit shows me love's the root
of ev'ry gift sent from above,
of ev'ry flower, of ev'ry fruit,
that God is love.
3 The Spirit shows if I possess
a love no evil can destroy,
however great is my distress,
then this is joy.
4 Though what's ahead is mystery,
and life itself is ours on lease,
each day the Spirit says to me,
"Go forth in peace!"
5 We go in peace, but made aware
that, in a needy world like this,
our clearest purpose is to share
love, joy, and peace. Topics: Gifts of the Spirit; Gifts of the Spirit; Joy; Love; Peace, inner Scripture: Galatians 5:16-26 Languages: English Tune Title: THREEFOLD GIFTS
