Love divine, all loves excelling
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,863 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 57:15 Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling,
joy of heaven, to earth come down,
fix in us thy humble dwelling,
all thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, thou art all compassion,
pure, unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation,
enter every trembling heart.
2 Come, almighty to deliver;
let us all thy life receive;
suddenly return, and never,
never more thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
3 Finish then thy new creation:
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee,
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Thus saith the high and lofty One
Appears in 90 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 57:15-16 Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the high and Lofty One:
"I sit upon my holy Throne;
"My Name is God, I dwell on high;
"Dwell in my own Eternity.
2 "But I descend to Worlds below,
"On Earth I have a Mansion too;
"The humble Spirit and contrite
"Is an Abode of my Delight.
3 "The humble Soul my Words revive,
"I bid the mourning Sinner live;
"Heal all the broken Hearts I find,
"And ease the Sorrows of the Mind.
4 "When I contend against their Sin,
"I make them know how vile they've been;
"But should my Wrath for ever smoke,
"Their Souls would sink beneath my Stroke."
5 O may thy pard'ning Grace be nigh,
Lest we should faint, despair, and die!
Thus shall our better Thoughts approve
The Methods of thy chast'ning Love.

My God, How Wonderful Thou Art
Author: Frederick W. Faber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 344 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 57:15 Lyrics: 1 My God, how wonderful thou art,
thy majesty, how bright,
how beautiful thy mercy seat
in depths of burning light!
How dread are thine eternal years,
O everlasting Lord:
by prostrate spirits day and night
incessantly adored!
2 How wonderful, how beautiful,
the sight of thee must be,
thine endless wisdom, boundless power,
and awesome purity!
O how I fear thee, living God,
with deepest, tenderest fears,
and worship thee with trembling hope
and penitential tears!
3 Yet, I may love thee too, O Lord,
Almighty as thou art,
for thou hast stooped to ask of me
the love of my poor heart.
No earthly father loves like thee;
no mother, e’er so mild,
bears and forbears as thou hast done
with me, thy sinful child.
4 My God, how wonderful thou art,
thy majesty, how bright,
how beautiful thy mercy seat
in depths of burning light!
Father of Jesus, Love divine,
great King upon thy throne,
what joy to see thee as thou art,
and worship thee alone!

The contrite heart
Author: Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 125 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 57:15 First Line: The Lord will happiness divine Lyrics: 1 The Lord will happiness divine
On contrite hearts bestow;
Then tell me, gracious God, is mine
A contrite heart or no?
2 I hear, but seem to hear in vain,
Insensible as steel;
If aught is felt, 'tis only pain
To find I cannot feel.
3 I sometimes think myself inclin'd
To love thee, if I could;
But often feel another mind,
Averse to all that's good.
4 My best desires are faint and few,
I fain would strive for more;
But when I cry, "my strength renew,"
Seem weaker than before.
5 Thy saints are comforted I know
And love thy house of prayer;
I sometimes go where others go,
But find no comfort there.
6 O make this heart rejoice or ache;
Decide this doubt for me;
And, if it be not broken, break,
And heal it, if it be. Topics: Graces of the Spirit Resignation; Complaint Of stupidity in hearing and prayer; Contrition of heart

O little town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 846 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 57:15 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see thee lie!
above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by:
yet in thy dark streets shineth
the everlasting Light;
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight.
2 O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to men on earth.
For Christ is born of Mary;
and, gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wondering love.
3 How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is given!
so God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming;
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive him, still
the dear Christ enters in.
4 O holy Child of Bethlehem,
descend to us, we pray;
cast out our sin, and enter in:
be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels,
the great glad tidings tell:
O come to us, abide with us,
our Lord Emmanuel. Topics: Christmas; Chirstimas Midnight Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN
