1
Gracious Spirit Holy Ghost
Taught by Thee we covet most
Of Thy gifts of Pentecost
Holy heavenly Love
2
Faith that mountains could remove
Tongues of earth or heaven above
Knowledge all things empty prove
Without heavenly Love
3
Though I as a martyr bleed
Give my goods the poor to feed
All is vain if Love I need
Therefore give us Love
4
Love is kind and suffers long
Love is meek and thinks no wrong
Love than death itself more strong
Therefore give us Love
5
Prophecy will fade away
Melting in the light of day
Love will ever with us stay
Therefore give us Love
6
Faith will vanish into sight
Hope be emptied in delight
Love in heaven will shine more bright
Therefore give us Love
7
Faith and Hope and Love we see
Joining hand in hand agree
But the greatest of the three
And the best is Love
8
From the overshadowing
Of Thy gold and silver wing
Shed on us who to Thee sing
Holy heavenly Love
