408 The Gift of Love

The Gift of Love
Note: where there is a chord hanging off the end of a word,
the note is a whole tied to a quarter in the next measure. The chord
goes with the quarter.

Dsus         G   A7             G     
Though I may speak with bravest fire,
                           D      
and have the gift to all inspire,
                                G  A7 
and have not love, my words are vain,
            G                         
as sounding brass, and hopeless gain.
