If I speak in tongues of men
And angels that are heaven sent
To treasure gifts this child enjoyed
Without love, I only pass
As clanging cymbals and sounding brass
To give a sound, yet life devoid
If by prophecy I'd share
Mysteries sages would declare
All my knowledge won't compare to love
For only love prevails
Love, love, love prevails
Whether tongues will cease or knowledge fails
We know in part what will be unveiled
God is love, and only love prevails
Love prevails
Only Love prevails
If my faith makes mountains move
And loveless works my power prove
Would it ever mean a thing?
If I dole out all I own
To feed the hungry in lands unknown
Would my boast a profit bring?
Love is patient; love is kind
Jealous boasting, love declines
On account of evil, love is blind
For only love prevails
Love, love, love prevails
Whether tongues will cease or knowledge fails
We know in part what will be unveiled
God is love, and only love prevails
Love prevails
Only Love prevails
Love, love, love prevails
Whether tongues will cease or knowledge fails
We know in part what will be unveiled
God is love, and only love prevails
Love prevails
Only Love prevails
