Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,895 hymnals Topics: Proper 5 Year C 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.

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,768 hymnals Topics: Proper 5 Year C Lyrics: 1 O for a thousand tongues to sing
my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and king,
the triumphs of God's grace.
2 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.
3 He speaks, and listening to his voice,
new life the dead receive,
the mournful broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.
4 Hear him, you deaf, you voiceless ones,
your tongues again employ;
you blind, behold your Saviour comes,
and leap, you lame, for joy!
5 My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honours of your name. Used With Tune: AZMON

There's a wideness in God's mercy
Author: F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 915 hymnals Topics: Proper 5 Year B Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy
like the wideness of the sea;
there's a kindness in his justice
which is more than liberty.
2 There is no place where earth's sorrows
are more felt than up in heaven;
there is no place where earth's failings
have such kindly judgement given.
3 For the love of God is broader
than the measure of man's mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 But we make his love too narrow
by false limits of our own;
and we magnify his strictness
with a zeal he will not own.
5 There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that has been shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the Head.
6 There is grace enough for thousands
of new worlds as great as this;
there is room for fresh creations
in that upper home of bliss.
7 If our love were but more simple,
we should take him at his word;
and our lives would be all gladness
in the joy of Christ our Lord. Scripture: Ephesians 1:7 Used With Tune: CROSS OF JESUS

My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8.8 Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Good Friday; Holy Week; Jesus Christ Friend; Jesus Christ Passion and Cross; Year A Good Friday; Year A Holy Saturday; Year A Proper 22; Year B Lent 4; Year B Lent 5; Year B Good Friday; Year B Holy Saturday; Year C Good Friday; Year C Holy Saturday Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
my Savior's love to me,
Love to the loveless shown,
that they might lovely be.
O who am I, that for my sake
my God should take frail flesh and die?
My God should take frail flesh and die?
2 God left the richest throne
salvation to bestow;
But Christ as flesh and bone
the world refused to know.
But, O my Friend, my Friend indeed,
who at my need did life expend;
who at my need did life expend.
3 Sometimes they threw down palms
and sweetest praises sang.
Hosannas and glad psalms
through streets and markets rang.
Then "Crucify!" is all their breath,
for blood and death they thirst and cry;
for blood and death they thirst and cry.
4 What has my Sovereign done?
What makes this rage and spite?
Christ gave new strength to run,
restored the gift of sight.
Sweet injuries! Yet they at these
themselves displease, and 'gainst Christ rise;
themselves displease, and 'gainst Christ rise.
5 I sing my plain belief,
one song my heart out-pours:
Never was pain nor grief,
never was love like yours.
This is my Friend, in whose sweet praise
I all my days could gladly spend;
I all my days could gladly spend.
Scripture: Hebrews 5:7-10 Used With Tune: RHOSYMEDRE

where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign,
within whose foursquare walls shall come
no night, nor need, nor pain,
and where the tears are wiped from eyes
that shall not weep again!
2 Hark, now from men whose lives are held
more cheap than merchandise,
from women struggling sore for bread,
from little children's cries,
there swells the sobbing human plaint
that bids thy walls arise.
3 O shame to us who rest content
while lust and greed for gain
in street and shop and tenement
wring gold from human pain,
and bitter lips in blind despair cry,
"Christ hath died in vain!"
4 Give us, O God, the strength to build
the city that hath stood
too long a dream, whose laws are love,
whose ways is brotherhood,
and where the sun that shineth is
God's grace for human good.
5 Already in the mind of God
that city riseth fair.
Lo, how its splendour challenges
the souls that greatly dare,
yea, bids us seize the whole of life
and build its glory there! Used With Tune: MORNING SONG
