Opening Hymn: “Love Divine, Love Excelling” #384 UMH
Words: Charles Wesley, 1747 Music: John Zundel, 1870
 
1.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.
 
2.Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit into every
troubled breast! Let us all in thee inherit;
let us find that second rest.  Take away our
bent to sinning; Alpha and Omega be; end of
faith, as its beginning, set our hearts at liberty.
 
3.Come Almighty to deliver, let us all thy
life receive; suddenly return and never,
nevermore 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.
 
4.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.
