Verse 1
Not for tongues of heaven's angels
Not for wisdom to discern
Not for faith that masters mountains
For this better gift we yearn
May love be ours O Lord
Verse 2
Love is humble love is gentle
Love is tender true and kind
Love is gracious ever patient
Generous of heart and mind
May love be ours O Lord
Verse 3
Never jealous never selfish
Love will not rejoice in wrong
Never boastful nor resentful
Love believes and suffers long
May love be ours O Lord
Verse 4
In the day this world is fading
Faith and hope will play their part
But when Christ is seen in glory
Love shall reign in every heart
May love be ours O Lord
