O Come and Dwell in Me
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 163 hymnals Topics: Christian Experience Lyrics: 1. O come and dwell in me,
Spirit of power within,
and bring the glorious liberty
from sorrow, fear, and sin.
2. Hasten the joyful day
which shall my sins consume,
when old things shall be done away,
and all things new become.
3. I want the witness, Lord,
that all I do is right,
according to thy mind and word,
well-pleasing in thy sight.
4. I ask no higher state;
indulge me but in this,
and soon or later then translate
to thine eternal bliss.

O Come and Dwell in Me
Spirit of Faith, Come Down
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 153 hymnals Topics: Christian Experience Lyrics: 1. Spirit of faith, come down,
reveal the things of God,
and make to us the Godhead known,
and witness with the blood.
'Tis thine the blood to apply
and give us eyes to see,
who did for every sinner die
hath surely died for me.
2. No one can truly say
that Jesus is the Lord,
unless thou take the veil away
and breathe the living Word.
Then, only then, we feel
our interest in his blood,
and cry with joy unspeakable,
"Thou art my Lord, my God!"
3. O that the world might know
the all atoning Lamb!
Spirit of faith, descend and show
the virtue of his name;
the grace which all may find,
the saving power, impart,
and testify to humankind,
and speak in every heart.
4. Inspire the living faith
(which whosoe'er receive,
the witness in themselves they have
and consciously believe),
the faith that conquers all,
and doth the mountain move,
and saves whoe'er on Jesus call,
and perfects them in love.

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,863 hymnals Topics: Christian Experience 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 that second rest.
Take away our bent to 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,
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 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.

This Is a Day of New Beginnings
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Christian Experience Lyrics: 1 This is a day of new beginnings,
time to remember and move on,
time to believe what love is bringing,
laying to rest the pain that's gone.
2 For by the life and death of Jesus,
God's mighty Spirit, now as then,
can make for us a world of difference,
as faith and hope are born again.
3 Then let us, with the Spirit's daring,
step from the past and leave behind
our disappointment, guilt, and grieving,
seeking new paths, and sure to find.
4 Christ is alive, and goes before us
to show and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings;
our God is making all things new.
5 In faith we'll gather round the table
to taste and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings;
our God is making all things new.

Let Us Plead for Faith Alone
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Christian Experience Lyrics: 1. Let us plead for faith alone,
faith which by our works is shown;
God it is who justifies,
only faith the grace applies.
2. Active faith that lives within,
conquers hell and death and sin,
hallows whom it first made whole,
forms the Savior in the soul.
3. Let us for this faith contend,
sure salvation is the end;
heaven already is begun,
everlasting life is won.
4. Only let us persevere
till we see our Lord appear,
never from the Rock remove,
saved by faith which works by love.
