The Good Old Songs We Used to Sing, '61 to '65

CHARITY.

Reading edition

[Listen] [Notation]

Sing after the words—“But the greatest of these is Charity.”

Meek and lowly, pure and holy, Chief among the blessed three; Turning sadness into gladness, Heaven-born art thou Charity. Pity dwelleth in thy bosom, Kindness reigneth o’er thy heart; Gentle thoughts alone can sway thee, Judgment with thee hath no part. Chorus. Meek and lowly, pure and holy, Chief among the blessed three; Turning sadness into gladness, Heaven-born art thou, Charity. CAVALRY CORPS, ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
