[Albion Wilde]

And now, Lord, may You, our God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that Great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make us perfect in every good work to do Your will. May You work in us that which is well pleasing in Your sight, through Jesus Christ, to Whom be glory for ever and ever. In His Name we pray, Amen.

And amen, dear Faith!

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

by Charles Wesley

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

Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit into every troubled breast
Let us all in Thee inherit, let us find that promised rest
Take away the love of sinning, Alpha and Omega be
End of faith, as its Beginning, set our hearts at liberty

Come, Almighty to deliver, let us all Thy life receive
Suddenly return and never, never more 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, ’til in heaven we take our place
’Til we cast our crowns before Thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise

[Faith]

That’s a wonderful old hymn, isn’t it? We sang it many, many times in our little church when I was a child. Thank you for sharing it.
