Love waits patiently
shows kindness
Love does not burn with envy
does not brag
does puff itself up
does not act in rude ways
does not self-serve
does not become exasperated
does not keep a count of evil l
does not rejoiced at wrong doing
but (love)
rejoices at the truth
supports all things
believes all things
hopes all things
endures all things
Be thou a bright flame before me,
Be thou a guiding star above me
Be thou a smooth path below me
Be thou a kindly shepherd behind me
Today – tonight -forever
Amen.
St Columba
