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.

Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit,
Into every troubled breast!
Let us all in Thee inherit,
Let us find Thy promised rest.
Take away the love of sinning,
Alpha and Omega be.
End of faith, as its beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.

Come, Almighty to deliver,
Let us all Thy grace 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.

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.
Charles Wesley.

(For the Psalm)
TO GOD BE THE GLORY! great things He hath done!
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life-gate that all may go in.

  Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
  Let the earth hear His voice!
  Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
  Let the people rejoice!
  O come to the Father through Jesus the Son;
  And give Him the glory, great things He hath done!

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood!
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son:
But purer and higher and greater will be
Our wonder, our worship, when Jesus we see!
     Fanny J. Crosby.

BLESSÈD ASSURANCE, Jesus is mine:
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God.
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

   This is my story, this is my song,
   Praising my Saviour all the day long.
   This is my story, this is my song,
   Praising my Saviour all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture burst on my sight.
Angels descending bring from above.
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Saviour am happy and blessed.
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
     Fanny J. Crosby.

WILL YOU COME AND FOLLOW ME
If I but call your name?
Will you go where you don’t know,
And never be the same?
Will you let My love be shown,
Will you let My name be known,
Will you let My life be grown in you,
And you in Me?

Will you leave yourself behind If I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind And never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare,
Should your life attract or scare?
Will you let Me answer prayer,
In you and you in Me?

Will you let the blinded see If I but call your name?
Will you set the prisoners free And never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean,
And do such as this unseen, And admit to what I mean,
In you and you in Me?

Will you love the ‘you’ you hide If I but call your name?
Will you quell the fear inside And never be the same?
Will you use the faith you’ve found,
To reshape the world around,
Through My sight and touch and sound
In you and you in Me?

Lord, Your summons echoes true,
When You but call my name.
Let me turn and follow You And never be the same.
In Your company I’ll go Where Your love and footsteps show.
Thus I’ll move and live and grow,
In You and You in me.
