Love divine.
(Inspired by a hymn by Charles Wesley - 1707
- 1788)
Love
divine, all loves excelling,
joy of
heaven, to earth come down.
Jesus, make in
us your dwelling,
all your
faithful mercies crown!
Christ, divine, with love excelling,
for
God’s peace and rest renowned.
Breathe,
O breathe your loving Spirit
into
every troubled mind!
Let us
all in Christ inherit,
rest in
God, our Saviour find!
Loving
Spirit, friendly Spirit,
every
trembling heart unwind!
Come,
Almighty, to deliver,
let us
all your life receive;
to our
Lord return and never,
nevermore
your temple leave.
grateful
praise you, boldly thank you,
tribute,
praise and honour give.
Finish in
us your creation:
pure and
holy, free and new.
Let us
see your great salvation:
graciously
restored in you;
lost in
wonder, praise and worship,
found in
love, divine and true!
One of Charles Wesley’s most loved and well
known hymns reworked to be a bit more contemporary and to be sung on the
melody of “Glory be to God, the Father”.)
