1. We humbly bow to our God in prayer
That all his qualities we may share
But most important of all those things
Is love, which having his spirit brings
We may be talented, wise, or bold
But we are nothing if love grows cold
So may we cultivate lasting love;
Then we'll endure and please God above

2. It's not enough to use just the mind
As we keep teaching the sheep we find
We need to love them in word and deed
While helping them on His Word to feed
Love helps us patiently suffer wrong
Bears heavy loads when it's really strong
And so remember in each travail
Love bears all things; it will never fail
