Come Down, O Love Divine
Author: Bianco da Siena, d. 1434; Richard F. Littledale Meter: 6.6.11.6.6.11 Appears in 109 hymnals Topics: Commitment; Consecration; Deaconesses and Deacons; Humility; Inner Life; Invocation; Life, Christian; Pentecost Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine;
Seek out this soul of mine,
And visit it with your own ardor glowing;
O Comforter, draw near;
Within my heart appear,
And kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
2 Oh, let it freely burn
Till worldly passions turn
To dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
And let your glorious light
Shine ever on my sight
And clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity
My outward vesture be
And lowliness become my inner clothing--
True lowliness of heart,
Which takes the humbler part
And over its shortcomings weeps with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong,
With which the soul will long,
Shall far outpass the pow'r of human telling;
No soul can guess his grace
Till it become the place
Wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling. Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY

fill thy weak spirit with alarm;

thy Lord for thee the cross endured,
to save thy soul from death and hell.

nor think till death to lay it down;
for only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown.

O Love That Will Not Let Me Go
Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906 Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 676 hymnals Topics: Christian Hope; Aspiration; Commitment; Christian Hope Lyrics: 1 O Love that will not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
2 O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flick'ring torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.
4 O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended,
that we to judge thee have in hate pretended?
By foes derided, by thine own rejected,
O most afflicted!
2. Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon thee?
Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone thee!
'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied thee;
I crucified thee.
3. Lo, the Good Shepherd for the sheep is offered;
the slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered.
For our atonement, while we nothing heeded,
God interceded.
4. For me, kind Jesus, was thy incarnation,
thy mortal sorrow, and thy life's oblation;
thy death of anguish and thy bitter passion,
for my salvation.
5. Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay thee,
I do adore thee, and will ever pray thee,
think on thy pity and thy love unswerving,
not my deserving.

and did my Sovereign die?
Would he devote that sacred head
for sinners such as I?
2. Was it for crimes that I have done,
he groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
3. Well might the sun in darkness hide,
and shut its glories in,
when God, the mighty maker, died
for his own creature's sin.
4. Thus might I hide my blushing face
while his dear cross appears;
dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
and melt mine eyes to tears.
5. But drops of tears can ne'er repay
the debt of love I owe.
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
'tis all that I can do.

We lift our battle song.

And holiness shall whisper
The sweet amen of peace;
For not with swords loud clashing,
Nor roll of stirring drums,
But deeds of love and mercy
The heav'nly kingdom comes.

We follow, not with fears,
For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er your face appears.
Your cross is lifted o'er us;
We journey in its light;
The crown awaits the conquest;
Lead on, O God of might! Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE
