Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: Voices United #604 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Not for tongues of heaven's angels,
not for wisdom to discern,
not for faith that conquers mountains;
for this better gift we yearn:
may love be ours, O Lord.

love is tender, true, and kind;
love is gracious, ever patient,
generous of heart and mind:
may love be ours, O Lord.

love will not rejoice in wrong;
never boastful nor resentful,
love believes and suffers long:
may love be ours, O Lord.
4 In the day this world is fading
faith and hope will play their part;
but when Christ is seen in glory
love shall reign in every heart:
may love be ours, O Lord. Topics: Church in the World Discipleship: Love in Action; Angels; Jesus Christ Blood; Love; Love for Others; Patience; Petition; Epiphany 4 Year C; Easter 7 Year C Languages: English Tune Title: BRIDEGROOM
