Love divine, all loves excelling

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,909 hymnals Topics: Christian unity Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heav'n, to earth come down, fix in us thy humble dwelling, all thy faithful mercies crown. 2 Jesu, thou art all compassion, pure unbounded love thou art; visit us with thy salvation, enter ev'ry trembling heart. 3 Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit into ev'ry troubled breast; let us all in thee inherit, let us find thy promised rest. 4 Take away our love of sinning. Alpha and Omega be; end of faith, as its beginning, set our hearts at liberty. 5 Come, almighty to deliver, let us all thy grace receive; suddenly return, and never, nevermore thy temples leave. 6 Thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above; pray, and praise thee, without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love. 7 Finish then thy new creation, pure and spotless let us be; let us see thy great salvation perfectly restored in thee. 8 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.

Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 893 hymnals Topics: Christian unity Lyrics: 1 The church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ our Lord; we are Christ's new creation by water and the word; From heaven Christ came and sought us in love to set us free; with precious blood Christ bought us for all eternity. 2 Elect from every nation, yet one o’er all the earth, one charter of salvation, one God, one faith, one birth, One name together blessing, one holy food we share, to one hope we are pressing, at one in work and prayer. 3 'Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of our war, we wait the consummation of peace forevermore, Till with the vision glorious, our longing eyes are blessed, and the great church victorious shall be the church at rest. 4 Yet we on earth have union with God, the Three-in-One, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won. O happy ones and holy! God, give us grace that we, like them, the meek and lowly, may live eternally. Scripture: Ephesians 2:13-22 Used With Tune: AURELIA
