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

"On Earth I have a Mansion too;
"The humble Spirit and contrite

"I bid the mourning Sinner live;
"Heal all the broken Hearts I find,

"I make them know how vile they've been;
"But should my Wrath for ever smoke,
"Their Souls would sink beneath my Stroke."

Lest we should faint, despair, and die!
Thus shall our better Thoughts approve
The Methods of thy chast'ning Love.

thine endless wisdom, boundless power,

the love of my poor heart.

no mother, e’er so mild,
bears and forbears as thou hast done
with me, thy sinful child.

thy majesty, how bright,
how beautiful thy mercy seat
in depths of burning light!

On contrite hearts bestow;
Then tell me, gracious God, is mine
A contrite heart or no?

To find I cannot feel.

To love thee, if I could;
But often feel another mind,
Averse to all that's good.

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;

But find no comfort there.

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

the everlasting Light;
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight.

proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to men on earth.

and, gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wondering love.

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.

our Lord Emmanuel. Topics: Christmas; Chirstimas Midnight Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

Kneel at the Cross
Built on the Rock
Author: Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig; Carl Döving Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 73 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 57:15 First Line: Built on the Rock, the church shall stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock, the church shall stand
even when steeples are falling;
Christ builds his church in every land;
bells still are chiming and calling,
calling the young and old to rest,
calling the souls of those distressed,
longing for life everlasting.
2 Not in a temple made with hands
God the Almighty is dwelling;
high in the heavens his temple stands,
all earthly temples excelling.
Yet he who dwells in heaven above
chooses to live with us in love,
making our bodies his temple.
3 We are God's house of living stones,
built for his own habitation;
he fills our hearts, his humble thrones,
granting us life and salvation.
Yet to this place, an earthly frame,
we come with thanks to praise his name;
God grants his people true blessing.

Let all within me bless His name
Who makes you full partaker
Of mercies more than you dare claim.
Forget Him not whose meekness
Still bears with all your sin,
Who heals your ev'ry weakness,
Renews your life within;
Whose grace and care are endless
And saved you through the past;
Who leaves no suff'rer friendless
But rights the wronged at last.
2 He offers all His treasure
Of justice, truth, and righteousness,
His love beyond all measure,
His yearning pity o'er distress,
Nor treats us as we merit
But sets His anger by.
The poor and contrite spirit
Finds His compassion nigh;
And high as heav'n above us,
As dawn from close of day,
So far, since He has loved us,
He puts our sins away.
3 For as a tender father
Has pity on His children here,
God in His arms will gather
All who are His in childlike fear.
He knows how frail our powers,
Who but from dust are made.
We flourish like the flowers,
And even so we fade;
The wind but through them passes,
And all their bloom is o'er.
We wither like the grasses;
Our place knows us no more.
4 His grace remains forever,
And children's children yet shall prove
That God forsakes them never
Who in true fear shall seek His love.
In heav'n is fixed His dwelling,
His rule is over all;
O hosts with might excelling,
With praise before Him fall.
Praise Him forever reigning,
All you who hear His Word--
Our life and all sustaining.
My soul, O praise the Lord!
