Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

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 every trembling heart.

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.

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 heav'n we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Charles Wesley

Rejoice, the Lord is King!

Rejoice! the Lord is King,
your Lord and King adore;
mortals, give thanks, and sing,
and triumph evermore:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!


Jesus, the Saviour, reigns,
the God of truth and love;
when He had purged our stains,
He took His seat above:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!


His kingdom cannot fail;
He rules o'er earth and heav'n;
the keys of death and hell
are to our Jesus giv'n:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!


He sits at God's right hand,
till all His foes submit,
and bow to His command,
and fall beneath His feet:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!


Rejoice in glorious hope;
Jesus, the judge, shall come,
and take His servants up
to their eternal home:
We soon shall hear th'archangel's voice;
the trump of God shall sound, rejoice!


Philippians 4:4
Charles Wesley
