Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,863 hymnals Topics: Service Music for Mass: Introductory Rites Entrance Song Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heav'n, to earth come down! Fix in us your humble dwelling; All your faithful mercies crown. Jesus, source of all compassion, Love unbounded, love all pure; Visit us with your salvation, Let your love in us endure. 2 Come, almighty to deliver; Let us all your life receive; Suddenly return and never, Nevermore your temples leave. Lord, we would be always blessing, Serve you as your hosts above, Pray, and praise you without ceasing, Glory in your precious love. 3 Finish then your new creation, Pure and spotless, gracious Lord; Let us see your great salvation Perfectly in you restored. Changed from glory into glory, Till in heav'n we take our place, Till we sing before the almighty, Lost in wonder, love and praise. Scripture: Psalm 106:4 Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 900 hymnals Topics: Service Music for Mass: Introductory Rites Entrance Song Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy Like the wideness of the sea: There’s a kindness in God's justice Which is more than liberty. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 2 For the love of God is broader Than the measures of our mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple We should take him at his word; And our lives would be illumined By the presence of our Lord. 3 Troubled souls, why will you scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts! why will you wander From a love so true and deep? There is welcome for the sinner And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior, There is healing in his blood. Scripture: Psalm 33:4-5 Used With Tune: IN BABILONE

One holy Name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses With ev'ry grace endued. 3 'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore, Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. 4 Yet she on earth hath union With God, the Three-in-One, And with the saints, communion With those whose rest is won. O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with thee. Scripture: Psalm 118:22 Used With Tune: AURELIA
