Love divine, all love excelling

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 1,868 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Redeemer 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. Jesus, Thou art all compassion; Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter ev'ry trembling heart! 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into every troubled breast; Let us all in Thee inherit; Let us find Thy 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; Graciously 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 precious 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: LOVE DIVINE

Lamb of God! we fall before Thee

Author: Joseph Hart Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Justification Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before Thee, Humbly trusting in Thy cross; That alone be all our glory, All things else are only dross. 2 Thee we own a perfect Savior, Only source of all that’s good. Ev'ry grace and ev'ry favor Comes to us through Jesus’ blood. 3 Jesus gives us true repentance, By His Spirit sent from heav’n; Whispers this transporting sentence: "Son thy sins are all forgiven." 4 Faith He grants us to believe it, Grateful hearts His love to prize; Want we wisdom? He must give it; Hearing ears, and seeing eyes. 5 Jesus gives us pure affections, Wills to do what He requires: Makes us follow His directions, And what He commands, inspires. 6 All our prayers, and all our praises, Rightly offered in His name,— He that dictates them is Jesus; He that answers is the same.

Jesus, Lover of my soul

All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from thee I bring: Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in Thee I find: Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy Name; I am all unrighteousness: False and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art; Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. Used With Tune: JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL
