Chief among the blessed three;
Turning sadness into gladness,
Heav’n-born art thou, charity.
Pity dwelleth in thy bosom,
Kindness reigneth o’er thy heart;
Gentle thoughts alone can sway thee,
Judgment hath in thee no part.
Refrain:
Meek and lowly, pure and holy,
Chief among the blessed three;
Turning sadness into gladness,
Heav’n-born art thou, charity.
2 Hoping ever, failing never,
Though deceived, believing still;
Long abiding, all confiding
To thy heav’nly Father’s will;
Never weary of well-doing,
Never fearful of the end;
Claiming all mankind as brothers,
Thou dost all alike befriend. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:12 Tune Title: [Meek and lowly, pure and holy]
