Love divine, all loves excelling
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,863 hymnals Topics: Christian unity 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.

let us all thy grace receive;
suddenly return, and never,
nevermore thy temples leave.

serve thee as thy hosts above;
pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
7 Finish then thy new creation,
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee.

till in heav'n we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE

The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 859 hymnals Topics: Christian unity Lyrics: 1 The church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ our Lord;
we are Christ's new creation by water and the word;
From heaven Christ came and sought us in love to set us free;
with precious blood Christ bought us for all eternity.
2 Elect from every nation, yet one o’er all the earth,
one charter of salvation, one God, one faith, one birth,
One name together blessing, one holy food we share,
to one hope we are pressing, at one in work and prayer.
3 'Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of our war,
we wait the consummation of peace forevermore,
Till with the vision glorious, our longing eyes are blessed,
and the great church victorious shall be the church at rest.
4 Yet we on earth have union with God, the Three-in-One,
and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy! God, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly, may live eternally. Scripture: Ephesians 2:13-22 Used With Tune: AURELIA

Help Us Accept Each Other
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Christian unity Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other
as Christ accepted us;
teach us as sister, brother,
each person to embrace.
Be present, God, among us,
and bring us to believe
we are ourselves accepted
and meant to love and live.
2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons,
as in our daily life
we struggle to be human
and search for hope and faith.
Teach us to care for people,
for all, not just for some,
to love them as we find them,
or as they may become.
3 Let your acceptance change us,
so that we may be moved
in living situations
to do the truth in love;
To practice your acceptance,
until we know by heart
the table of forgiveness
and laughter's healing art.
4 God, for today's encounters
with all who are in need,
who hunger for acceptance,
for righteousness and bread,
Bring us new eyes for seeing,
new hands for holding on:
renew us with your Spirit;
God! Free us, make us one! Scripture: John 15:12 Used With Tune: AURELIA

Blessed Be the Tie That Binds
Author: John Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,273 hymnals Topics: Christian unity Lyrics: 1 Blessed be the tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love;
the sharing of a common life
is like to that above.
2 Before our God we come
and pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
our comforts and our cares.
3 We share each other's woes,
Each other's burdens bear.
And often for each other flows
a sympathizing tear.
4 When we are called to part
it gives us inward pain,
But we shall still be joined in heart,
and hope to meet again.

seek alone in Jesus rest;
has He not your love excited?
Then let love inspire each breast.
Members on our Head depending,
lights reflecting Him, our Sun,
Christians, His commands attending,
we in Him, our Lord, are one.
2 Come, then, come, O flock of Jesus,
covenant with Him anew;
unto Him who conquered for us,
pledge we love and service true;
and should our love's union holy
firmly linked no more remain
wait ye at His footstool lowly,
till He draw it close again.
3 Grant, Lord, that with Thy direction,
"Love each other," we comply,
aiming with unfeigned affection
Thy love to exemplify;
let our mutual love be glowing,
so that all will plainly see
that we, as on one stem growing,
living branches are in Thee.
4 O that such may be our union
as Thine with the Father is,
and not one of our communion
e'er forsake the path of bliss;
may our light shine forth with brightness,
from Thy light reflected, shine;
thus the world will bear us witness,
that we, Lord, are truly Thine. Scripture: John 15:12-17 Used With Tune: CASSELL
