we are gathered all to hear you;
let our hearts and minds be stirred
now to seek and love and fear you;
by your teachings true and holy,
drawn from earth to love you solely.
2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight
lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
till your Spirit breaks our night
with the beams of truth unclouded;
you alone to God can win us;
you must work all good within us.
3 Glorious Lord, yourself impart!
Light of Light, from God proceeding,
open now each mind and heart,
help us by your Spirit's pleading.
Hear the cry your Church now raises;
Lord, accept our prayers and praises. Used With Tune: LIEBSTER JESU

Come down, O Love divine
Author: Bianco de Siena, d. 1434; Richard Frederick Littledale, 1833-90 Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 109 hymnals Topics: Longing for God Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine,
seek now this soul of mine,
and visit it with our own ardour glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear
and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
2 There let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes, in its heat consuming;
and let your glorious light
shine ever on my sight
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity
my outward garment be,
and lowliness become my inner clothing:
true lowliness of heart,
which takes the humbler part
and for its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace
till we become the place
in which the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY

To serve Thee to the end;
Be Thou for ever near me,
My Master and my Friend!
I shall not fear the battle
If Thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway
If Thou wilt be my Guide.
2 O let me feel Thee near me:
The world is ever near
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer.
And shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear Thee speaking
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will.
O speak to reassure me,
To hasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
Thou Guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, Thou hast promised,
To all who follow Thee,
That where Thou art in glory
There shall Thy servant be;
And Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow
My Master and my Friend.
5 O let me see Thy footmarks,
And in them plant mine own;
My hope to follow duly
Is in Thy strength alone.
O guide me, call me, draw me,
Uphold me to the end;
And then in heaven receive me,
My Saviour and my Friend. Used With Tune: DAY OF REST

Love Divine, all loves excelling
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,871 hymnals Topics: Longing for Christ and God 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:
Jesus, thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love thou art;
Visit us with thy salvation,
Enter ev'ry trembling heart.
2 Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit
Onto 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;
Suddenly return, and never,
Nevermore 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.
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. Scripture: John 14:21 Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE (LE JEUNE)
Love Divine, all loves excelling
