Love divine, all loves excelling
Author: Rev. Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Hymnal #308a (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Life in Christ Love and Communion; Love and Communion 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!
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart.
2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit
Into every troubled breast!
Let us all in Thee inherit,
Let us find the 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;
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.
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.
Amen. Tune Title: BEECHER

Love divine, all loves excelling
My God, I love Thee; not because
Author: Rev. Edward Caswall; Francis Xavier Hymnal: The Hymnal #313 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Life in Christ Love and Communion; Love and Communion Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee; not because
I hope for heaven thereby,
Nor yet because who love Thee not
Must die eternally.
2 Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me
Upon the cross embrace;
For me didst bear the nails and spear,
And manifold disgrace;
3 Yea, griefs and torments numberless,
And sweat of agony,
E'en death itself didst bear for one
Who was Thine enemy.
4 Then why, O blessèd Jesus Christ,
Should I not love thee well?
Not for the sake of winning heaven,
Nor of escaping hell.
5 Not with the hope of gaining aught,
Not seeking a reward;
But as Thyself hast lovèd me,
O everlasting Lord!
6 E'en so I love Thee, and will love,
And in Thy praise will sing;
Solely because Thou art my God
And my Eternal King.
Amen. Tune Title: SOLOMON
My God, I love Thee; not because
More love, O Christ [God] to thee
Author: Elizabeth Prentiss (1818-1878) Hymnal: The Hymnal #315 (1950) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4 Topics: The Life in Christ Love and Communion; Love and Communion First Line: More love to Thee, O Christ Lyrics: 1 More love to Thee, O Christ,
More love to Thee!
Hear Thou the prayer I make
On bended knee;
This is my earnest plea,
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee,
More love to Thee!
2 Once earthly joy I craved,
Sought peace and rest;
Now Thee alone I seek;
Give what is best:
This all my prayer shall be,
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee,
More love to Thee!
3 Then shall my latest breath
Whisper Thy praise;
This be the parting cry
My heart shall raise;
This still its prayer shall be,
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee,
More love to Thee!
Amen. Tune Title: MORE LOVE TO THEE
More love, O Christ [God] to thee
O Love that wilt not let me go
Author: Rev. George Matheson Hymnal: The Hymnal #307 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Topics: The Life in Christ Love and Communion; Love and Communion Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
2 O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to Thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in Thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.
4 O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.
Amen. Tune Title: ST. MARGARET
O Love that wilt not let me go
Jesus, Thy boundless love to me
Author: Rev. John Wesley; Rev. Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: The Hymnal #314 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: The Life in Christ Love and Communion; Love and Communion Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy boundless love to me
No thought can reach, no tongue declare;
O knit my thankful heart to Thee,
And reign without a rival there!
Thine wholly, Thine alone, I'd live,
Myself to Thee entirely give.
2 O grant that nothing in my soul
May dwell, but Thy pure love alone;
O may Thy love possess me whole,
My joy, my treasure, and my crown!
All coldness from my heart remove;
May every act, word, thought, be love.
3 O Love, how gracious is Thy way!
All fear before Thy presence flies;
Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away,
Where'er Thy healing beams arise.
O Jesus, nothing may I see,
Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee.
Amen. Tune Title: STELLA
Jesus, Thy boundless love to me
Jesus, the very thought of Thee
Author: Rev. Edward Caswall Hymnal: The Hymnal #309 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Life in Christ Love and Communion; Love and Communion Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills my breast;
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.
2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
Nor can the memory find
A sweeter sound than Thy blest Name,
O Saviour of mankind!
3 O Hope of every contrite heart,
O Joy of all the meek,
To those who fall, how kind Thou art!
How good to those who seek!
4 But what to those who find? Ah, this
Nor tongue nor pen can show:
The love of Jesus, what it is
None but His loved ones know.
5 Jesus, our only Joy be Thou,
As Thou our Prize wilt be;
Jesus, be Thou our Glory now,
And through eternity.
Amen. Tune Title: ST. AGNES
Jesus, the very thought of Thee
Christ, of all my hopes the Ground
Author: Rev. Ralph Wardlaw Hymnal: The Hymnal #316 (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7 Topics: The Life in Christ Love and Communion; Love and Communion Lyrics: 1 Christ, of all my hopes the Ground,
Christ, the Spring of all my joy,
Still in Thee may I be found,
Still for Thee my powers employ,
Still for Thee my powers employ.
2 Let Thy love my heart inflame;
Keep Thy fear before my sight;
Be Thy praise my highest aim;
Be Thy smile my chief delight,
Be Thy smile my chief delight.
3 Fountain of o'erflowing grace,
Freely from Thy fullness give;
Till I close my earthly race,
May I prove it Christ to live,
May I prove it Christ to live.
4 Firmly trusting in Thy blood,
Nothing shall my heart confound;
Safely I shall pass the flood,
Safely reach Emmanuel's ground,
Safely reach Emmanuel's ground.
5 Thus, O thus, an entrance give
To the land of cloudless sky;
Having known it Christ to live,
Let me know it gain to die,
Let me know it gain to die.
Amen. Tune Title: HENDON
Christ, of all my hopes the Ground
Jesus, Thy boundless love to me

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me
O Holy Saviour, Friend unseen
Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: The Hymnal #306 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.6 Topics: The Life in Christ Love and Communion; Love and Communion Lyrics: 1 O Holy Saviour, Friend unseen,
The faint, the weak on Thee may lean,
Help me, throughout life's varying scene,
By faith to cling to Thee.
2 Blest with this fellowship divine,
Take what Thou wilt, I'll ne'er repine;
E'en as the branches to the vine,
My soul would cling to Thee.
3 Though faith and hope may long be tried,
I ask not, need not aught beside;
How safe, how calm, how satisfied,
The souls that cling to Thee!
4 Blest is my lot, whate'er befall;
What can disturb me, who appall,
While as my Strength, my Rock, my All,
Saviour, I cling to Thee?
Amen. Tune Title: FLEMMING
O Holy Saviour, Friend unseen
