Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,864 hymnals Topics: God's Church Life of Discipleship: New Life in Christ 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 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 heaven we take our place, till we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Author: Sydney Carter Meter: Irregular Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Discipleship and Service Refrain First Line: Dance, then, wherever you may be Lyrics: 1 I danced in the morning when the world was begun, and I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun, and I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth; at Bethlehem I had my birth. [Refrain:] Dance, then, wherever you may be; I am the Lord of the dance, said he, and I’ll lead you all, wherever you may be, and I’ll lead you all in the dance, said he. 2 I danced for the scribe and the pharisee, but they would not dance and they would not follow me; I danced for the fishermen, for James and John; they came with me and the dance went on. [Refrain] 3 I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame; the holy people said it was a shame; they whipped and they stripped and they hung me high, and they left me there on a cross to die. [Refrain] 4 I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black; it’s hard to dance with the devil on your back; they buried my body and they thought I’d gone, but I am the dance and I still go on. [Refrain] 5 They cut me down and I leap up high; I am the life that will never, never die; I’ll live in you if you’ll live in me; I am the Lord of the dance, said he. [Refrain] Used With Tune: LORD OF THE DANCE

The Voice of God is Calling

Author: John Haynes Holmes Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1. The voice of God is calling its summons in our day; Isaiah heard in Zion, and we now hear God say: "Whom shall I send to succor my people in their need? Whom shall I send to loosen the bonds of shame and greed? 2. "I hear my people crying in slum and mine and mill; no field or mart is silent, no city street is still. I see my people falling in darkness and despair. Whom shall I send to shatter the fetters which they bear?" 3. We heed, O Lord, your summons, and answer: Here are we! Send us upon your errand, let us your servants be. Our strength is dust and ashes, our years a passing hour; but you can use our weakness to magnify your power. 4. From ease and plenty save us; from pride of place absolve; purge us of low desire; lift us to high resolve; take us, and make us holy; teach us your will and way. Speak, and behold! we answer; command, and we obey! Scripture: Isaiah 6:8 Used With Tune: MEIRIONYDD
