Love divine, all loves excelling
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,863 hymnals Topics: The Serving Community Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling,
joy of heav'n, 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 ev'ry trembling heart.
3 Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit
into ev'ry troubled breast;
let us all in thee inherit,
let us find thy promised rest.
4 Take away our love of sinning.
Alpha and Omega be;
end of faith, as its beginning,
set our hearts at liberty.
5 Come, almighty to deliver,
let us all thy grace receive;
suddenly return, and never,
nevermore thy temples leave.
6 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 heav'n we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise. Used With Tune: BLAENWERN

Lord God, your love has called us here
Author: Brian Wren (born 1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 11 The Serving Community Lyrics: 1 Lord God, your love has called us here
as we, by love, for love were made;
your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined
yet seeking hope for all humankind.
3 Lord God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own
not through some merit, right or claim
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy-seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends;
suffer and serve till all are fed
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Lord God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share:
give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair,
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Used With Tune: MELITA
Lord God, your love has called us here
Eternal Ruler, of the ceaseless round
Author: John White Chadwick, 1840-1904 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 124 hymnals Topics: The Serving Community First Line: Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round Lyrics: 1 Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round
of circling planets singing on their way;
guide of the nations from the night profound
into the glory of the perfect day;
rule in our hearts, that we may ever be
guided and strengthened and upheld by thee.
2 We are of thee, the children of thy love,
by virtue of thy well-belovèd Son;
descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove,
into our hearts, that we may be as one:
as one with thee, to whom we ever tend;
as one with him, our Brother and our Friend.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,
one in our love of all things sweet and fair,
one with the joy that breaketh into song,
one with the grief that trembles into prayer,
one in the pow'r that makes thy children free
to follow truth, and thus to follow thee.
4 O clothe us with thy heav'nly armour, Lord,
thy trusty shield, thy sword of love divine;
our inspiration be thy constant word;
we ask no victories that are not thine:
give or withhold, let pain or pleasure be;
enough to know that we are serving thee. Scripture: Ephesians 1:5 Used With Tune: SONG 1
