THIS IS MY COMMANDMENT

This is my commandment:

Love one another as I have loved you. (2)

Charity is kind, feels no envy,

Charity bears up to the end.

Charity is meek, seeking not its own.

Charity has faith to the end.

Charity is mild, thinks no evil,

Charity can hope to the end.

Charity is just, finding joy in truth,

Charity is patient to the end.

Charity is never conceited.

Charity brings joy to the end.

Charity is never resentful.

Charity makes peace to the end.

I may speak in tongues, be a prophet

Understand every mystery.

Even though my faith may move mountains

With no love, I’m nothing at all.

I may give away my possessions,

Even give my body to be burnt,

If I have no love, I’m no better.

For of all the greatest is love.
