1. Hymn 137
Gracious Lord, our only trust

2. 1
Gracious Lord, our only trust,
taught by you, we wish for most
of your gifts at Pentecost
holy, heavenly love.

3. 2
Faith that mountains could remove,
tongues of earth or heaven above,
knowledge: all things empty prove
without heavenly love.

4. 3
Though we should as martyrs bleed,
give our goods the poor to feeds,
all is vain if love we need;
therefore give us love.

5. 4
Love is kind and suffers long;
love is humble, thinks no wrong;
love that death itself more strong;
therefore give us love.

6. 5
Prophecy will fade away,
melting in the light of day;
love will always with us stay;
therefore give us love.

7. Christopher Wordsworth 1807-1885
Faith and hope and love we see,
joining hand in hand agree;
but the greatest of the three
and the best is love.
Christopher Wordsworth
