Though we could speak with angel tongues

Author: Anon. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Though we could speak with angel tongues, Or with prophetic skill Survey the future at a glance And read events at will; Had we a faith in God so strong As mountains to remove, Yet all were fruitless, all in vain, If not inspired by love. 2 And though our goods to feed the poor Our liberal hands bestow, Or yield our bodies to the flames Our ardent zeal to show; Our deeds, though like the noon-day sun, Of no avail would prove, No sacrifice a merit claims That is not crowned by love. 3 Love suffers long and envies not, Endures, forbears, believes, All things it hopes, all things forgives, It trusts but ne'er deceives; And now abide to every soul These graces from above, Faith, hope, and love, immortal three, But chief of all is love.

Author of "Though we could speak with angel tongues" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
