Religion vain without Love

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #XXIX (1790) First Line: Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews Lyrics: 1 Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews, And nobler speech than angels use, If love be absent, I am found, Like tinkling brass, an empty sound. 2 Were I inspir'd to preach and tell All that is done in heaven and hell; Or could my faith the world remove, Still I am nothing, without love. 3 Should I distribute all my store To feed the bowels of the poor, Or give my body to the flame, To gain a martyr's glorious name — 4 If love to God, and love to men Be absent — all my hopes are vain: — Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal, The work of love can e'er fulfil. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 Languages: English
