[Intro]
Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm G F
If I can speak in tongues of fire
C Dm
Yet fail to do what love requires,
Dm G Am
I’m nothing though high mountains move
C Dm
I’m nothing without perfect love.
[Verse 2]
Dm G F
I’m nothing if I try to hide
C Dm
Resentment, envy, selfish pride.
Dm F G Am
I’m nothing though high myst’ries find
C Dm
If I’m not patient, humble, kind.
[Verse 3]
Dm G F
His heav’nly gifts God gives to me
C Dm
So Christ’s perfected love I’d see
Dm F G Am
And know and speak, and serve and give
C Dm
And in my holy Bridegroom live.
[Interlude]
Dm
[Verse 4]

In faith and hope, love perseveres,
C Dm
No anger and no rudeness hears;

Such loving kindness fully blessed
C Dm
Gives foretastes of eternal rest.

Dm F G Am
C Dm
[Verse 5]
Dm G F
I see in part like children here,
C Dm
A poor reflection in a mirror;
Dm F G Am
Yet in my heart I long to find
C Dm
Love more by Jesus’ love refined.
[Verse 6]
Dm G F
Above I’ll know, as Christ has known,
C Dm
How vast his love for sinners shown!
Dm F G Am
With eyes undimmed I’ll end my race
C Dm
And gaze on Jesus face to face!
[Outro]
C Dm
And gaze on Jesus face to face!
