Though I may speak with bravest fire,
and have the gift to all inspire,
and have not love, my words are vain,
as sounding brass, and hopeless gain.
Though I may give all I possess,
and striving so my love profess,
but not be given by love within,
the profit soon turns strangely thin.
Come, Spirit, come, our hearts control;
our spirits long to be made whole.
Let inward love guide every deed;
by this we worship, and are freed.
(源自) 哥林多前書13章: 1-3節
我若能說萬人的方言、並天使的話語、卻沒有愛、我就成了鳴的鑼、響的鈸一般。
我若有先知講道之能、也明白各樣的奧秘、各樣的知識．而且有全備的信、叫我能彀移山、卻沒有愛、我就算不得甚麼。
我若將所有的賙濟窮人、又捨己身叫人焚燒、卻沒有愛、仍然與我無益。
(Original) 1 Corinthians 13:1-3.
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
