Love divine, all love excelling
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,863 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 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 Come, almighty to deliver,
Let us all thy life receive;
Suddenly 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 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. Topics: The Christian System Adoption And Sanctification; The Power of Divine Love

All good gifts around us
Author: Matthias Claudius (1740-1815); Jane Montgomery Campbell (1817-1878) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Appears in 453 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 First Line: We plough the field and scatter Lyrics: 1 We plough the fields and scatter
the good seed on the land,
but it is fed and watered
by God's almighty hand;
he sends the snow in winter,
the warmth to swell the grain,
the breezes and the sunshine
and soft refreshing rain.
[Refrain:]
All good gifts around us
are sent from heaven above;
then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord,
for all his love.
2 He only is the Maker
of all things near and far;
he paints the wayside flower,
he lights the evening star;
the wind and waves obey him,
by him the birds are fed;
much more to us, his children,
he gives our daily bread. [Refrain]
3 We thank you then, O Father,
for all things bright and good,
the seed-time and the harvest,
our life, our health, our food.
Accept the gifts we offer
for all your love imparts,
with what we know you long for:
our humble, thankful hearts. [Refrain]

On What has Now been Sown

Thy blessing, Lord, bestow;
The pow'r is Thine alone
To make it spring and grow.
Do Thou in grace the harvest raise,
And Thou alone shalt have the praise.
2 To Thee our wants are known,
From Thee are all our pow'rs;
Accept what is Thine own
And pardon what is ours.
Our praises, Lord, and prayers receive
And to Thy Word a blessing give.
3 Oh, grant that each of us
Now met before Thee here
May meet together thus
When Thou and Thine appear
And follow Thee to heav'n, our home.
E'en so, Amen, Lord Jesus, come!

And things to come are mine;
Yea, Christ, his word, and Spirit too,
And glory all divine.

He very trouble sends;
All things are working for my good,
And bliss his rod attends.
3 If he is mine, let friends forsake,
Let wealth and honor flee:
Sure he who giveth me himself
Is more than these to me.

What can I wish beside?
My soul shall at the fountain live,
When all the streams are dried. Topics: Assurance Prayer for; Christians Privileges; Comfort; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table; Completeness; Covenant Divine Used With Tune: BROWN

these hallowed courts shall ring:
our voices we will raise
the Three in One to sing,
and thus proclaim in joyful song,
both loud and long that glorious name.
3 Here, gracious God, do now
for evermore draw near,
accept each faithful vow,
and ev'ry suppliant hear.
In copious show'r on all who pray
each holy day your blessings pour!

the grace which we implore;
and may that grace, once giv'n,
be with us evermore,
until that day when all the blessed
to endless rest are called away! Topics: Nature of the Church; Christ--Cornerstone, our; Church--Dedication of a building; Church--Foundation and nature; God--Grace and mercy of; Lovefeast Used With Tune: DARWALL Text Sources: Latin, 7th cent.
