It is in loving, not in being loved,
The heart is blest:
It is in giving, not in seeking gifts
We find our quest.
If you are hungry, lacking heavenly food,
Give hope and cheer;
If you are sad and would be comforted,
Stay sorrow’s tear.
Whatever is your longing and your need —
Of that, do give;
So shall your soul be fed, and you indeed
Shall truly live.
