Of These Three

Of these three: faith, hope and love- let love reign. And faith, as essential as one's breathing; Hope must be second, for a higher plane. When suffering and heartache stir the pain And disappointments pierce us like teething; Of these three: faith, hope and love- let love reign. The wiser soul despises old refrains, Focused only on heaven’s high wreathing Hope must be second, for a higher plane. The devil spins his lies for sordid gains God gives His children a three-fold sheathing. Of these three: faith, hope and love- let love reign. Abide in heaven’s mercies and His Name And discover grace and trials easing. Hope must be second, for a higher plane. Great aspirations flow through seeker’s veins, Unimagined heights and glory seizing- Of these three: faith, hope and love- let love reign. Hope must be second, for a higher plane.
