Hymn 122
If I Have Not Charity
Verse 1
Though I speak with tongues of men,
though I speak as angels,
If I have not charity I am become as nothing.
I become as sounding brass,
or a tinkling cymbal;
With the gift of prophecy, still I am as nothing.
Verse 2
Though I know all mysteries, though I have all knowledge,
If I have not charity I am become as nothing.
Though I give all I possess, let my body burn;
If I have not charity, then I am as nothing.
Verse 3
Charity will suffer long, charity is kind,
Envies not nor vaunts itself, behaveth not unseemly,
Seeketh not to have her way, nor is easily angered;
If I have not charity, then I am as nothing.
Verse 4
Charity rejoiceth not in iniquity,
But rejoiceth in the truth; believes and bears
all things;
Hopes all things; endures all things; never thinketh evil.
If I have not charity, then I am as nothing.
Last Verse
Whether there be prophecies, whether there
be knowledge,
These shall likewise pass away,
but charity remaineth.
Faith and hope and charity,
all of these abide;
But among the three of these, charity is greatest.
