Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost
Taught by thee, we covet most
Of thy gifts as Pentecost,
Holy, heavenly love
Love is kind, and suffers long,
Love is meek, and thinks no wrong,
Love than death itself more strong,
Therefore give us love.
Prophecy will fade away,
Melting in the light of day;
Love will ever with us stay;
Therefore give us love.
Faith will vanish into sight;
Hope be emptied in delight;
Love in heaven will shine more bright;
Therefore give us love
Faith and hope and love we see
Joining hand in hand agree
But the greatest of the three.
And the best, is love
From the overshadowing
Of thy gold and silver wing
Shed on us, who to thee sing
Holy heavenly love
