General (Vol. 3)
Tribute
- We have seen love
In so many ways,
In gifts of human skill and art,
In patience, confidence and praise,
In kindness that uplifts the heart. - We have seen love
In sea and sky,
In earth's abundance at our feet,
In science and discovery
So wonderfully incomplete. - We have seen love
In that free will
To love You freely in return,
The Grace to counter every ill,
Your Church where we may praise and learn. - Will we see love
When we are scorned,
When hope declines and markets fail,
When friends are lost and loved ones mourned,
And God appears not to prevail? - Love will be there
But we must learn
To give more than we calculate
And love more than our neighbours earn
So that we may face want and hate. - But love resides
Not in the deed
But in the praise and prayer we bring
In giving what our neighbours need
As tribute to Our Lord and King.
