Love Divine

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

God’s love divine won’t ever fade or end,
a truth that's known to those whose peace it brings,
this kind of love still flows from deepest springs.

With love from God the hardest heart will mend,
by faith and hope His love steadfastly clings,
God’s love divine won’t ever fade or end, 
a truth that's known to those whose peace it brings.

Unbound and strong, it doesn’t break or bend,
Forgiving every wrong, love bears all things.
Rejoicing in delight, His mercy sings,
God’s love divine won’t ever fade or end,
a truth that's known to those whose peace it brings,
this kind of love still flows from deepest springs.
