The sacred body of perfectness

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: The Christian System Adoption And Sanctification; The Bond of Perfectness Lyrics: 1 The sacred bond of perfectness Is spotless charity; Oh, let us, Lord, we pray, possess The mind that was in thee. 2 Grant this, and then from all below Insensibly remove: Our souls the change shall scarcely know, Made perfect first in love. 3 With ease our souls through death shall glide Into their paradise; And thence on wings of angels ride Triumphant through the skies. 4 Yet then the fullest joy is given, The same delight we prove; In earth, in paradise, in heaven, Our all in all is love.

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,907 hymnals Topics: Christian Perfection 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. Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit into every troubled breast! Let us all in thee inherit; let us find that second rest. Take away our bent to 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 heaven we take our place, till we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise.
