Faith, Hope and Charity

From the Bible, God’s Inspired Holy Word, we see,
      Of God’s most cherished possessions, there abideth three.
Faith, Hope, and Charity are much to be treasured;
      Offered to God’s children, their value cannot be measured.

All three shed Holy Ghost Light to a dimly lit soul;
      They make the saint of God rich with wealth untold.
Charity is the greatest of the three, the Bible doth say;
      So God’s Love will be my focus as I seek the others along the way.


God’s perfect fulfillment is contained in His Love;
      Faith and Hope are important, but Charity woos the Heavenly Dove.
Everything the saint needs is in Charity contained;
      It is God’s treasure trove of value, our source of great gain.


Charity never faileth; Charity suffereth long, and is kind;
      Charity envieth not; if we have not Charity, we are blind.
Charity doth not behave itself unseemly; Charity seeketh not her own;
      Charity rejoiceth in the truth because it comes from God’s Throne.


Faith, Hope, and Charity are my heart’s desire;
      These are God’s three precious gifts; my soul’s require.
We will walk in the Spirit, if we have these three;
      So, let us deny our flesh, and seek after Faith, Hope, and most of all, Charity.

Psalm 51:7
“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”


The six-pointed Star of David is the symbol of the hyssop blossom. I have adopted the Star of David as an emblem of God’s Goodness, and Salvation.
