Love Divine
Hymn 3
1st Stanza
Love divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of heav’n,
to earth come down;
1st Stanza continued
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,
All Thy faithful mercies crown.
1st Stanza continued
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart.
2nd Stanza
Breathe, O breathe
Thy loving Spirit
Into every troubled breast!
2nd Stanza continued
Let us all in Thee inherit,
Let us find that second rest.
2nd Stanza continued
Take away our bent to sinning,
Alpha and Omega be;
End of faith, as its beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.
3rd Stanza
Come, almighty to deliver,
Let us all Thy life receive;
Suddenly return, and never,
Nevermore Thy temples leave.
3rd Stanza continued
Thee we would be always
blessing,
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
3rd Stanza continued
Pray and praise Thee
without ceasing,
Glory in Thy perfect love.
Last Stanza
Finish then Thy new creation,
Pure and spotless let us be;
Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee:
Last Stanza continued
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heav’n we take our place,
Last Stanza continued
Till we cast our crowns
before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love,
and praise.

Hymnal (inside front cover)
Glory be to the Father,

Scripture Reading
Colossians 3:1-17
1 If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are
above, where Christ sitteth on
the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things
above, not on things on the
earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life
is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life,
shall appear, then shall ye also
appear with him in glory.
5 Mortify therefore your
members which are upon the
earth; fornication, uncleanness,
inordinate affection, evil
concupiscence, and
covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things' sake the
wrath of God cometh on the
children of disobedience:
7 In the which ye also walked
some time, when ye lived in
them.
8 But now ye also put off all
these; anger, wrath, malice,
blasphemy, filthy
communication out of your
mouth.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing
that ye have put off the old man
with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new
man, which is renewed in
knowledge after the image of
him that created him:
11 Where there is neither Greek
nor Jew, circumcision nor
uncircumcision, Barbarian,
Scythian, bond nor free: but
Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect
of God, holy and beloved,
bowels of mercies, kindness,
humbleness of mind,
meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and
forgiving one another, if any
man have a quarrel against
any: even as Christ forgave
you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things
put on charity, which is the
bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God
rule in your hearts, to the which
also ye are called in one body;
and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell
in you richly in all wisdom;
teaching and admonishing one
another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing with
grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in
word or deed, do all in the
name of the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God and the Father
by him.
In Tenderness He Sought Me

Until the courts of
Heaven rang.

rejoice!

Wondrous grace that
brought me to the fold!
3rd Stanza
He pointed to the nail-prints –
For me His blood was shed;
A mocking crown, so thorny,
Was placed upon His head:
3rd Stanza continued
I wondered what He saw in me,
To suffer such deep agony.
Chorus
O the love that sought me!
O the blood that bought me!
Chorus continued
O the grace that
brought me to the fold,
Wondrous grace that
brought me to the fold!
4th Stanza
I'm sitting in His presence,
The sunshine of His face,
While with adoring wonder
His blessings I retrace:
4th Stanza continued
It seems as if eternal days
Are far too short to sound
His praise.
Chorus
O the love that sought me!
O the blood that bought me!
Chorus continued
O the grace that
brought me to the fold,
Wondrous grace that
brought me to the fold!
Last Stanza
So while the hours are passing,
All now is perfect rest;
I'm waiting for the morning,
The brightest and the best,
Last Stanza continued
When He will call us to His side
To be with Him,
His spotless bride.
Chorus
O the love that sought me!
O the blood that bought me!
Chorus continued
O the grace that
brought me to the fold,
Wondrous grace that
brought me to the fold!

For such a worm as I?

And shut his glories in,

the mighty Maker, died
For man the creature’s sin.

But drops of grief
can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe:

Here, Lord,
I give myself away—
’Tis all that I can do!

At the cross, at the cross
where I first saw the light,
And the burden of
my heart rolled away—
Chorus continued
It was there by faith
I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!
