Love divine, all loves excelling

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,907 hymnals Topics: Year A Proper 25 Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heav'n, to earth come down, fix in us thy humble dwelling, all thy faithful mercies crown. 2 Jesu, thou art all compassion, pure unbounded love thou art; visit us with thy salvation, enter ev'ry trembling heart. 3 Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit into ev'ry troubled breast; let us all in thee inherit, let us find thy promised rest. 4 Take away our love of sinning. Alpha and Omega be; end of faith, as its beginning, set our hearts at liberty. 5 Come, almighty to deliver, let us all thy grace receive; suddenly return, and never, nevermore thy temples leave. 6 Thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above; pray, and praise thee, without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love. 5 Finish then thy new creation, pure and spotless let us be; let us see thy great salvation perfectly restored in thee. 6 Changed from glory into glory till in heav'n we take our place, till we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 855 hymnals Topics: liturgical Scripture Songs Lyrics: 1. Hail to the Lord's Anointed, great David's greater Son! Hail in the time appointed, his reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, to set the captive free; to take away transgression, and rule in equity. 2. He comes with succor speedy to those who suffer wrong; to help the poor and needy, and bid the weak be strong; to give them songs for sighing, their darkness turn to light, whose souls, condemned and dying, are precious in his sight. 3. He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth; love, joy, and hope, like flowers, spring in his path to birth. Before him on the mountains, shall peace, the herald, go, and righteousness, in fountains, from hill to valley flow. 4. To him shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend; his kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never his covenant remove; his name shall stand forever; that name to us is love. The United Methodist Hymnal

I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see. 2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; how precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed! 3 Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come: 'tis grace has brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home. 4 The Lord has promised good to me, his word my hope secures; he will my shield and portion be as long as life endures. 5 Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease: I shall possess, within the veil, a life of joy and peace. 6 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, the sun forbear to shine; but God, who called me here below, will be forever mine.

It soothes the sorrows, heals the wounds, and drives away all fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, and calms the troubled breast; 'tis manna to the hungry soul, and to the weary, rest. 3 Dear Name! the rock on which I build, my shield and hiding-place, my never-failing treasury, filled with boundless stores of grace. 4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend, my Prophet, Priest, and King, my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, accept the praise I bring. 5 The effort of my heart is weak, and cold my warmest thought; but when I see you whom I seek, I'll praise you as I ought.
