Did I possess the gift of tongues,
Great God, without thy grace,
My loudest words, my loftiest songs
Would be but sounding brass.
Did I possess the gift of tongues,
Great God, without thy grace,
My loudest words, my loftiest songs
Would be but sounding brass.
Tho' thou should'st give me heav'nly skill,
Each myst'ry to explain,
Had I no heart to do thy will,
My knowledge would be vain.
Had I so strong a faith, my God,
As mountains to remove.
No faith could work effectual good,
That did not work by love.
Tho' thou should'st give me heav'nly skill,
Each myst'ry to explain,
Had I no heart to do thy will,
My knowledge would be vain.
Oh, grant me then this one request
And I'll be satisfied,
That love divine may rule my breast,
And all my actions guide.
Had I so strong a faith, my God,
As mountains to remove.
No faith could work effectual good,
That did not work by love.
Oh, grant me then this one request
And I'll be satisfied,
That love divine may rule my breast,
And all my actions guide.
