Had I The Tongues Of Greeks And Jews,
And Nobler Speech Than Angels Use,
If Love Be Absent, I Am Found,
Like Tinkling Brass, An Empty Sound.
Were I Inspired To Preach And Tell
All That Is Done In Heaven And Hell
Or Could My Faith The World Remove
Still I Am Nothing Without Love.
Should I Distribute All My Store
To Feed The Hungry, Clothe The Poor
Or Give My Body To The Flame,
To Gain A Martyr’s Glorious Name
If Love To God And Love To Men
Be Absent, All My Hopes Are Vain;
Nor Tongues, Nor Gifts, Nor Fiery Zeal,
The Work Of Love Can Ever Fulfill.
