English Lyrics
Verse 1
Though I speak with tongues of men and angels, Though I have the prophet's gift, Though I hold the keys to hidden knowledge, Though my faith can mountains shift: Without love I am no better, Without love it's all for naught; Lord, You spent Your life in loving others: What this means I would be taught.
Verse 2
Love is patient, knows no envy, Never gloats when others sin;Love is never glad to see injustice, Always wants the truth to win.There's no end to love's endurance,There's no test it cannot face; Lord, You spent Your life in loving others: I shall fail without Your grace.
Verse 3
Though there'll be an end to hidden knowledge, Visions, raptures, prophecy:Faith and hope and love shall last forever, Love the greatest of the three. Without love I am no better, Without love it's all for naught; Lord, You gave Your life in saving others: What this means I would be taught.
