Love Divine, all Love Excelling
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,895 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all love 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, oh! 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,
Never more 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 by 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.
Amen. Topics: Worship Used With Tune: THEODORET

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,325 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken
All to leave and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou, from hence, my all shalt be.
Perish ev'ry fond ambition,
All I've sought, or hoped, and known;
Yet how rich is my condition!
God and heav'n are still my own.
2 Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast:
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest.
Oh, 'tis not in grief to harm me,
While Thy love is left to me;
Oh, 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation;
Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care;
Joy to find in ev'ry station
Something still to do or bear.
Think what Spirit dwells within thee;
What a Father's smile is thine;
What a Saviour died to win thee:
Child of heav'n, shouldst thou repine?
4 Haste thee on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer;
Heav'n's eternal days before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Topics: Confession and Consecration Used With Tune: THEODORET

Winter Reigns o'er Many a Region
Author: Leonhard Meisser Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Winter reigns o’er many a region,
Many a seed-field fallow lies;
When, O Lord, shall come the springtime,
With its quick'ning energies?
When shall this long night be ended?
When the morning dawn appear?
When shall drought give place to freshness?
When these deserts bloom with cheer?
2 Lord, Thy Church is ever praying:
Now her anxious yearnings hear;
Speed the triumphs of Thy Kingdom;
Spread its vict'ries far and near.
Own the work, Thy grace attend it,
Which we undertake for Thee;
Let a holy love inflame us;
Kindle zeal and fervency.
3 That Thy fields be rightly cultured,
Send the laborers that we need,
Men to light the heavy darkness,
Sow the wastes with precious seed.
Then send down the gentle showers,
Make Thy gracious sunlight shine,
That each field may joy with blessing,
Bringing forth the fruits divine.
4 By the breezes of Thy Spirit,
Fan all deadness into life;
Bless the seeds to Thee upspringing,
Keep each plant from blast and strife.
And, ye toilers in this seeding,
Know the promise God hath given:
Glorious crowns await the faithful,
And eternal gains in heaven.
Amen. Topics: Missions Foreign; A Missionary Service; Missions Home Used With Tune: THEODORET
