Authors: Hal Hopson, American folk tune, arr. Hal Hopson
Tune Name: GIFT OF LOVE
Themes: Fruit of the Spirit
Also Known As: Though I May Speak
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.
