Love will guide us, peace has tried us,
Hope inside us will lead the way
On the road from greed to giving.
Love will guide us through the hard night.
Love is patient; love is kind;
Love does not envy; love does not boast.
Love is not proud, nor rude.
Love seeks not for itself.
Love will not fail us through the hard night.
Love will bind us through the night.
Peace will find us through the night.
Love is patient; love is kind.
Love is not easily anger’d;
Love holds no grudges.
Love delights not in evil, but rejoices in the truth.
Love bears all things, believes all things,
Hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.
Now these three abide: faith, hope and love;
But the greatest one of these is love.
If you cannot sing like angels,
If you cannot speak before thousands,
You can give from deep within yourself.
You can change the world with your love.
Sally Rogers, with changes and additions by Eleanor Trawick
