Love divine, all loves excelling
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,870 hymnals Topics: Grace and Providence 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. Used With Tune: BLAENWERN

I was a wand'ring sheep
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 499 hymnals Topics: Christian Life Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 I was a wand'ring sheep,
I did not love the fold;
I did not love my Shepherd's voice,
I would not be controlled.
I was a wayward child,
I did not love my home;
I did not love my Father's voice,
I loved afar to roam.
2 The Shepherd sought his sheep,
The Father sought his child;
They followed me o'er vale and hill,
O'er deserts waste and wild:
They found me nigh to death,
Famished and faint and lone;
They bound me with the bands of love,
They saved the wand'ring one.
3 Jesus my Shepherd is;
'Twas he that loved my soul,
'Twas he that washed me in his blood,
'Twas he that made me whole;
'Twas he that sought the lost,
That found the wand'ring sheep,
'Twas he that brought me to the fold,
'Tis he that still doth keep.
4 I was a wand'ring sheep,
I would not be controlled;
But now I love my Shepherd's voice,
I love, I love the fold.
I was a wayward child,
I once preferred to roam;
But now I love my Father's voice,
I love, I love his home.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 53:6 Used With Tune: LEBANON

How shall the young secure their hearts
Author: Watts Appears in 478 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace The Word of God Lyrics: 1 How shall the young secure their hearts,
And guard their lives from sin?
Thy Word the choicest rules imparts
To keep the conscience clean.
2 'Tis like the sun, a heavenly light,
That guides us all the day;
And through the dangers of the night
A lamp to lead our way.
3 The starry heavens Thy rule obey;
The earth maintains her place;
And these Thy servants, night and day,
Thy skill and power express.
4 But still Thy Law and Gospel, Lord,
Have lessons more divine;
Not earth stands firmer than Thy Word,
Nor stars so nobly shine.
5 Thy Word is everlasting truth:
How pure is every page!
That holy Book shall guide our youth,
And well support our age. Scripture: Psalm 119 Used With Tune: TIVERTON

Through their Redeemer's name;
His righteousness exalts their hope,
And fills their foes with shame.

Strength and salvation gives;
Israel, thy king forever reigns,
Thy God forever lives. Scripture: Psalm 89:15-18

My Lord, I Did Not Choose You
Author: Josiah Conder Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Grace Lyrics: 1 My Lord, I did not choose you,
for that could never be;
my heart would still refuse you,
had you not chosen me.
You took the sin that stained me,
you cleansed me, made me new;
of old you have ordained me,
that I should live in you.
2 Unless your grace had called me
and taught my opening mind,
the world would have enthralled me,
to heavenly glories blind.
My heart knows none above you;
for your rich grace I thirst.
I know that if I love you,
you must have loved me first.
Scripture: John 15:16 Used With Tune: CALCUTTA

On Thy grace I rest my plea;

Blot out my transgressions now;
Wash me, make me pure within,
Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin.

Grief and guilt my soul oppress;
I have sinned against Thy grace
And provoked Thee to Thy face;
I confess Thy judgment just,
Speechless, I Thy mercy trust.

Thou desirest truth within.
Thou alone my Saviour art,
Teach Thy wisdom to my heart;
Make me pure, Thy grace bestow,
Wash me whiter than the snow.

By Thy wrath and judgment just,
Let my contrite heart rejoice
And in gladness hear Thy voice;
From my sins O hide Thy face,
Blot them out in boundless grace. Scripture: Psalm 51 Used With Tune: AJALON
