72 Cultivating the Quality of Love
(1 Corinthians 13:1-8)
We hum - bly bow to our God in prayer, That all his qual - i - ties we may share. But
It’s not e-nough to use just the mind, As we keep teach-ing the sheep we find. We
most im-por - tant of all those things Is love, which hav - ing his spir - it brings. We
need to love them in word and deed, While help - ing them on HisWord to feed. Love
may be tal - ent - ed, wise, or bold, But we are noth - ing if love grows cold. So
helps us pa-tient-ly suf - fer wrong, Bears heav - y loads when it’s real - ly strong. And
may we cul - ti - vate last - ing love; Then we’ll en - dure and please God a - bove.
so re-mem - ber in each tra - vail, Love bears all things; it will nev - er fail.
