Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,864 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17 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.
Jesus, thou art all compassion,
pure, unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation,
enter ev'ry trembling heart.
2 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.
3 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!

pleased as man with us to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel. [Refrain]

Hail the Sun of Righteousness!

born to give us second birth. [Refrain]

Repent and turn away from sin’s seductive snare;

Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17 Lyrics: 1 This is a day of new beginnings,
time to remember and move on,
time to believe what love is bringing,
laying to rest the pain that's gone.

love's mighty Spirit, now as then,
can make for us a world of difference
as faith and hope are born again.

step from the past and leave behind
our disappointment, guilt and grieving,
seeking new paths, and sure to find.

to show and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings --
our God is making all things new.
