If Tongues of Men and Angels Sing Top Pick
For 2 Part Mixed Choir and Keyboard - a rediscovered gem using the text from 1 Corinthians 13 with a beautiful Irish tune. This would also be a stunning choice to use in a wedding and could even be done with two soloists. Your choir and congregation will love this beautiful piece! Note that the recording is of the original version for SATB, which can be found here.
If tongues of men and angels sing,
and joined with them, my praise I bring,
Yet no love lives within the thing,
my clamor is forsaken.
And when all prophesies have flown,
And mountains moved by faith alone,
And if I know what can e known,
Forsaking love, I'm shaken.
For love is patient, love is kind,
Not envious, or self inclined,
Insisting on its way to find,
But wends the path rejoicing.
Love bears all things, believes all things,
To hope it ever after clings,
Enduring all, love's spirit sings,
Its expectation voicing.
Let prophesies and knowledge case,
And unknown tongues, their joy release,
We only know in part the peace
that now we are pretending.
For faith and hope and love abide,
These all within our hearts reside,
Yet of these three, love opens wide
The path of joy unending.
