Love divine, all loves excelling
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,863 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17 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.
2 Jesu, thou art all compassion,
pure unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation,
enter every trembling heart.
3 Come, almighty to deliver,
let us all thy grace receive;
suddenly return, and never,
never more thy temples leave.
4 Thee we would be always blessing,
serve thee as thy hosts above;
pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
5 Finish then thy new creation:
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee;
6 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. Topics: Epiphany IV Year C; Third Sunday Before Lent Year C; Proper 6 Year A Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE

yet possessing every blessing,
if our God our Father be.

all our weakness thou dost know;
thou didst tread this earth before us,
thou didst feel its keenest woe;
lone and dreary, faint and weary,
through the desert thou didst go.

fill our hearts with heavenly joy,
love with every passion blending,
pleasure that can never cloy:
thus provided, pardoned, guided,
nothing can our peace destroy. Topics: Absolution; Conflict; Forgiveness; Gifts of the Holy Spirit; Inner Peace; Jesus Christ Earthly life; Lent; Pilgrimage; Providence; Trust in God Used With Tune: MANNHEIM

Longing for Christ
Author: C. W. Ray Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:23 First Line: My heart is sad and weary Lyrics: 1 My heart is sad and weary,
My way is dark and dreary;
O quench my ceaseless longings
With Thy rich grace and love;
With Thine own arm uphold me,
And to Thy breast enfold me;
O sanctify me wholly,
And bring me safe above.
2 My sky is over-clouded,
My path with shadows shrouded;
Dispel the mocking phantoms,
And drive away the gloom;
A balm for every sorrow
From Thee I fain would borrow;
For Thee my soul is longing,
And waits to make Thee room.
3 From sin Thou canst deliver,
And break its bonds forever;
O let me never wander
And grieve Thee, I implore;
Unholy thoughts subduing,
My sinful heart renewing,
O guide me to Thy glory,
And bless me evermore. Used With Tune: [My heart is sad and weary]
