1 Corinthians 13:1-10, 12-13
If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. ... For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
Songs of Solomon 8:6-7
"Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death, ...Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it ..." This text is used in a musical compostion sung by the National Lutheran Choir is the following video.
A Gregorian Chant for Maundy Thursday
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor.
Exultemus, et in ipso iucundemur.
Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum.
Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero.
A loose translation of the above text
Where true charity and love dwell, God himself is there.
Since the love of Christ has joined us in one body,
let us rejoice and be pleased in him
Let us respect and love the living God,
And from the heart, let us love one another sincerely.
