“Charity Never Fails,” Ensign, June 1978, 29

Charity Never Fails

Like the freshening of rainfall on the parching ground

Or the early warming sun in winter’s cold,

So is charity a miracle to thirsting hearts,

And the gift of love a blessedness untold.

For love is patience, love is kindness,

Love is sharing hand and heart;

Love is thoughtfulness of others;

Love is the never-failing part.

Charity means being humble,

Bringing ease to others’ hurt;

Charity is never failing;

Charity brings peace of heart.

Like the fragrance of the blossom in the early spring,

Like the bloom that bursts in beauty all around,

So is sharing and forgiving and a gladdened soul,

Where hope and faith and charity abound.
