Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,906 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 6 Year B 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 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.
3 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.

What words can convey it, the joy of this day?
When grateful we come, remembering, rejoicing,
what song can we offer in honor and praise?
2 Give thanks for the past, for those who had vision,
who planted and watered so dreams could come
true.
Give thanks for the now, for study, for worship,
for mission that bids us turn prayer into deed.
3 Give thanks for tomorrow, full of surprises,
for knowing whatever tomorrow may bring,
The Word is our promise always, forever;
we rest in God’s keeping and live in God’s love.
4 This gift we now bring, this present, this token,
these words can’t convey it, the joy of this day!
When grateful we come, remembering, rejoicing,
this song we now offer in honor and praise! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:8-9 Used With Tune: ANNIVERSARY SONG

my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!
2 My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread thro' all the earth abroad
the honors of your name.
3 Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease,
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life and health and peace.
4 He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
he sets the prisoner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean;
his blood availed for me.
5 To God all glory, praise, and love
be now and ever given
by saints below and saints above,
the Church in earth and heaven.

beset by change but Spirit led,
must claim and test its heritage
and keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across the world, across the street
the victims of injustice cry
for shelter and for bread to eat,
and never live until they die.
3 Then let the servant church arise,
a caring church that longs to be
a partner in Christ's sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ's humanity.
4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed,
can cure the fever in our blood,
and teach us how to share our bread
and feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
in full obedience to our Lord:
to care for all without reserve
and spread Christ's liberating word. Used With Tune: CHURCH TRIUMPHANT

Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit
Author: Rusty Edwards Meter: 7.7.7.7.6.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Year C Epiphany 6 Lyrics: 1 Blessed are the poor in spirit:
heaven will someday be theirs.
Blessed are the mourning children:
comfort comes from One who cares.
Blessed the meek and patient,
having courage to hang on.
Soon all earth they will inherit;
times of trials will be gone.
2 Blessed all who thirst or hunger:
righteously they will be fed.
Those who respond with mercy
will see mercy up ahead.
Blessed the clean in spirit -
beautiful, the pure in heart;
One day they will see their Maker,
nevermore to live apart.
3 Each seeking peace and justice
shall be known as God's own heir.
Blessed, too, are those ill-treated
for what's good and right and fair.
Blessed in New Creation,
joy beyond what we conceive;
Blessed all those who trust the promise:
without seeing, they believe! Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 Used With Tune: ANNIKA'S DANCE

her charter of salvation one Lord, one faith, one birth;
one holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses with ev'ry grace endued.
3 'Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation of peace for evermore;
till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest,
and the great Church victorious shall be the Church at rest.

and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we
like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Used With Tune: AURELIA
