God Is Love: Let Heaven Adore Him

Author: Timothy Rees, 1874-1939 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: God the Father, Creator God's Love First Line: God is love: let heav'n adore Him Lyrics: 1 God is love: let heav'n adore Him; God is love: let earth rejoice; let creation sing before Him, and exalt Him with one voice. He who laid the earth's foundation, He who spread the heav'ns above, He who breathes through all creation: He is love, eternal love. 2 God is love; and He enfoldeth all the world in one embrace; with unfailing grasp He holdeth, ev'ry child of ev'ry race. And when human hearts are breaking under sorrow's iron rod, then they find that selfsame aching deep within the heart of God. 3 God is love, and though with blindness sin afflicts the human soul, God's eternal loving-kindness guides and heals and makes us whole. Sin and death and hell shall never o'er us final triumph gain; God is love, so love forever o'er the universe must reign. Scripture: Psalm 102:25 Used With Tune: BEECHER

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.

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

For us to evil pow'r betrayed, scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed, He bore the shameful cross and death, for us gave up His dying breath. 3 For us He rose from death again; for us He went on high to reign; for us He sent His Spirit here, to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer. All glory to our Lord and God for love so deep, so high, so broad; the Trinity whom we adore, forever and forevermore. Scripture: Mark 15 Used With Tune: CANDLER Text Sources: Latin hymn, 15th cent.
