The alterations consist of omitted verses, given below: [After the first verse] Faith, that mountains could remove, Tongues of earth or heaven above, Knowledge--all things--empty prove, Without heavenly love. Though I as a martyr bleed, Give my goods the poor to feed, All is vain, if love I need; Therefore, give me love. [After verse three] Faith will vanish into sight; Hope be emptied in delight; Love in heaven will shine more bright; Therefore, give us love. [Last verse] From the overshadowing Of thy gold and silver wing, Shed on us, who to thee sing, Holy heavenly love. Change log: 3-23-06 Brought up to 2.8 with new formatting %}
