Love Divine, All Love Excelling

Author: Chas. Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,895 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all love excelling, Joy of heav'n, 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 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into ev'ry troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find the promised rest. Take away the love of sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Graciously 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 precious love. 4 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 heav'n we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love and praise. Amen. Used With Tune: BEECHER

There Were Ninety and Nine

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Meter: Irregular Appears in 386 hymnals Topics: Means of Grace Missions First Line: There were ninety and nine that safely lay Lyrics: 1. There were ninety and nine that safely lay In the shelter of the fold, But one was out on the hills away, Far off from the gates of gold-- Away on the mountains wild and bare, Away from the tender Shepherd's care, Away from the tender Shepherd's care. 2. "Lord, Thou hast here Thy ninety and nine; Are they not enough for Thee?" But the Shepherd made answer: "This of mine Has wandered away from me. And altho' the road be rough and steep, I go to the desert to find my sheep, I go to the desert to find my sheep." 3. But none of the ransomed ever knew How deep were the waters crossed; Nor how dark was the night that the Lord passed thro'; Ere He found His sheep that was lost. Out in the desert He heard its cry-- Sick and helpless, and ready to die; Sick and helpless, and ready to die. 4. "Lord, whence are those blood-drops all the way That mark out the mountain's track?" "They were shed for one who had gone astray Ere the Shepherd could bring him back." "Lord, whence are Thy hands so rent and torn?" "They're pierced tonight by many a thorn; They're pierced tonight by many a thorn. 5. But all thro' the mountain, thunder-riv'n, And up from the rocky steep, There arose a glad cry to the gate of heav'n, "Rejoice! I have found my sheep! And the angels echoed around the throne, "Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own! Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own." Used With Tune: THE NINETY AND NINE

Jesus, Lover Of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,300 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly; While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high; Hide me, O my Savior, hide, Till the storm of life be past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, O leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me! All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want, More than all in Thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. Amen. Used With Tune: MARTYN

Now, ye needy, come and welcome; God's free bounty glorify; True belief and true repentence, Ev'ry grace that brings you nigh. Without money, Without money, Come to Jesus Christ and buy. 3. Let not conscience make you linger, Nor of fitness fondly dream; All the fitness He requireth Is to feel your need of Him: This He gives you, This He gives you; 'Tis the Spirit's glimm'ring beam. 4. Come, ye weary, heavy-laden, Bruised and mangled by the fall; If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all; Not the righteous, Not the righeous, --Sinners Jesus came to call.
