Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,895 hymnals Topics: God the Father, Creator God's Love 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.
Jesu, 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
into ev'ry 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 heav'n we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before Thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise. Scripture: Matthew 9:35-38 Used With Tune: BEECHER
Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Thou Hidden Love of God
Author: Gerhard Tersteegen; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 266 hymnals Topics: God the Father, Creator God's Love First Line: Thou hidden love of God, whose height Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden love of God, whose height,
whose depth unfathomed, no man knows,
I see from far Thy beauteous light,
inly I sigh for Thy repose;
my heart is pained, nor can it be
at rest till it finds rest in Thee.
2 'Tis mercy all that Thou hast brought
my mind to seek its peace in Thee;
yet while I seek, but find Thee not,
no peace my wand'ring soul shall see.
O when shall all my wand'rings end,
and all my steps to Thee-ward tend?
3 Is there a thing beneath the sun
that strives with Thee my heart to share?
Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,
the Lord of ev'ry motion there;
then shall my heart from earth be free,
when it has found repose in Thee.
4 O hide this self from me, that I
no more, but Christ in me, may live;
My vile affections crucify,
nor let one darling lust survive;
in all things nothing may I see,
nothing desire or seek, but Thee.
5 Each moment draw from earth away
my heart, that lowly waits Thy call;
speak to my inmost soul, and say
"I am thy Love, thy God, thy all!"
To feel Thy pow'r, to hear Thy voice,
to taste Thy love, be all my choice! Scripture: Job 23:8-9 Used With Tune: ST. CHRYSOSTOM
Thou Hidden Love of God

My Shepherd Will Supply My Need
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 240 hymnals Topics: God the Father, Creator Praise Lyrics: 1 My Shepherd will supply my need;
Jehovah is His name;
in pastures fresh He makes me feed,
beside the living stream.
He brings my wand'ring spirit back,
when I forsake His ways;
and leads me, for His mercy's sake,
in paths of truth and grace.
2 When I walk through the shades of death
Thy presence is my stay;
one word of Thy supporting breath
drives all my fears away.
Thy hand, in sight of all my foes,
doth still my table spread;
my cup with blessings overflows,
Thine oil anoints my head.
3 The sure provisions of my God
attend me all my days;
O may Thy house be my abode,
and all my work be praise.
There would I find a settled rest,
while others go and come;
no more a stranger, nor a guest,
but like a child at home. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION
My Shepherd Will Supply My Need

perfect, yet it groweth deeper all the way.

Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blessed;
finding as He promised, perfect peace and rest.

never foe can follow, never traitor stand;

not a blast of hurry touch the spirit there. [Refrain]

traced upon our dial by the Sun of Love.
We may trust Him fully all for us to do;
they who trust Him wholly find Him wholly true. [Refrain] Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-8 Used With Tune: WYE VALLEY

O Love That Will Not Let Me Go
Author: George Matheson Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 696 hymnals Topics: God the Father, Creator God's Love Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
that in Thine ocean depths its flow
may richer, fuller be.
2 O Light that follow'st all my way,
I yield my flick'ring torch to Thee;
my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in Thy sunshine's blaze its day
may brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain,
that morn shall tearless be.
4 O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red,
life that shall endless be. Scripture: Psalm 30:1-5 Used With Tune: ST. MARGARET
