Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,895 hymnals Topics: God's Church Life of Discipleship: New Life in Christ; 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. Used With Tune: BEECHER

Author: Maltbie Davenport Babcock, 1858 - 1901 Appears in 333 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Adoration and Praise; The Life In Christ Contemplation Lyrics: 1 This is my Father's world,
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world;
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas,
His hand the wonders wrought.

The birds their carols raise;
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker's praise.
This is my Father's world;
He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass I hear him pass,
He speaks to me everywhere.
3 This is my Father's world,
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Father's world;
Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King, let the heavens ring;
God reigns, let the earth be glad! Used With Tune: TERRA PATRIS

Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823 - 95 Appears in 955 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Consecration; The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult
Of our life's wild, restless sea,
Day by day his clear voice soundeth,
Saying, 'Christian, follow me!'

By the Galilean lake,
Turned from home and toil and kindred,
Leaving all for his dear sake.

Of the vain world's golden store;
From each idol that would keep us,
Saying, 'Christian, love me more.' A-men.
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
'Christian, love me more than these.'
5 Jesus calls us! By thy mercies,
Saviour, may we hear thy call,
Give our hearts to thine obedience,
Serve and love thee best of all.
Amen. Used With Tune: GALILEE

Laud and magnify his Name!
