Come down, O Love divine

Author: Bianco de Siena, d. 1434; Richard Frederick Littledale, 1833-90 Hymnal: Together in Song #398 (1999) Meter: 6.6.11 D Topics: Our Love to 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.

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness

Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell, 1811-75 Hymnal: Together in Song #454 (1999) Topics: Our Love to God Lyrics: 1 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, bow down before him, his glory proclaim; gold of obedience and incense of lowliness bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name. 2 Low at his feet lay your burden of carefulness, high on his heart he will bear it for you, comfort your sorrows, and answer your prayerfulness, guiding your steps in the way best for you. 3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness of the poor wealth you would reckon to own: truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness, these are the offerings to bring to his throne. 4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness, he will accept for the name that is dear, mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness, trust for our trembling and hope for our fear. 5 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, bow down before him, his glory proclaim; gold of obedience and incense of lowliness, bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.

O'er the tumult of our life's wild restless sea, day by day his voice is sounding, saying, 'Christian, follow me': 2 As of old, Saint Andrew heard it by the Galilean lake, turned from home and toil and kindred leaving all for his dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world's golden store, from each idol that would keep us, saying, 'Christian, love me more.' 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, days of toil and hours of ease, still he calls, in cares and pleasures, 'Christian, love me more than these.' 5 Jesus calls us! By your mercies, Saviour, may we hear your call, give our hearts to your obedience, serve and love you best of all. Scripture: John 21:15-25 Languages: English Tune Title: ST CATHERINE
