English Lyrics
Verse 1
Holy Spirit, gracious guest, Hear and grant our heart’s request For that gift supreme and best: Holy heav’nly love.
Verse 2
Faith that mountains could remove, Tongues of earth or heaven above, Knowledge, all things, empty prove If I have no love.
Verse 3
Though I as a martyr bleed, Give my goods the poor to feed, All is vain if love I need: Therefore give me love.
Verse 4
Love is kind and suffers long, Love is pure and thinks no wrong, Love than death itself more strong: Therefore give us love.
Verse 5
Prophecy will fade away, Melting in the light of days; Love will ever with us stay: Therefore give us love.
Verse 6
Faith and Hope and love we see Joining hand in hand agree But the greatest of the three, And the best is love.
