Author: Hal H. Hopson, 1933- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #166 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Though I may speak with bravest fire,
and have the gift to all inspire,
and have not love, my words are vain,
as sounding brass, and hopeless gain.
2 Though I may give all I possess,
and striving so my love profess,
but not be giv'n by love within,
the profit soon turns strangely thin.
3 Come, Spirit, come, our hearts control,
our spirits long to be made whole.
Let inward love guide every deed;
by this we worship, and are freed. Topics: Gifts of the Spirit; Healing; Human Love; Marriage; Renewal; Spirituality Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13 Languages: English Tune Title: GIFT OF LOVE
