Love is very patient,
Love is very kind,
Love is never envious
Or vaunted up with pride.
Nor is she conceited,
And never is she rude,
Never does she think of self
Or ever get annoyed.
She never is resentful,
Is never glad with sin,
But always glad to side with truth,
Whene’er the truth should win.
She bears up under everything,
Believes the best in all,
There is no limit to her hope,
And never will she fall.
