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 Thy 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 grace 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, Till in heaven we take our place; Till
we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost
in wonder, love and praise. |

THE LORD’S
MY SHEPHERD, I’ll not want; He
makes me down to lie In
pastures green; He leadeth me The
quiet waters by. My
soul He doth restore again; And
me to walk doth make Within
the paths of righteousness, E’en for His own name’s
sake. Yea,
though I walk in death’s dark vale, Yet
will I fear no ill; For
Thou art with me; and Thy rod And
staff me comfort still. My
table Thou hast furnishèd In
presence of my foes; My
head Thou dost with oil anoint, And
my cup overflows. Goodness
and mercy all my life Shall
surely follow me; And
in God’s house forever more My
dwelling place shall be. Clock

MORNING HAS
BROKEN Like
the first morning; Blackbird
has spoken Like
the first bird. Praise
for the singing! Praise
for the morning! Praise
for them, springing Fresh
from the Word! Sweet
the rain’s new fall Sunlit
from heaven, Like
the first dewfall On
the first grass. Praise
for the sweetness Of
the wet garden, Sprung
in completeness Where
His feet pass. Mine
is the sunlight! Mine
is the morning Born
of the one light Eden
saw play! Praise
with elation, Praise
every morning, God’s
re-creation Of
the new day! Eleanor Farjeon.

GREAT IS
THY FAITHFULNESS, O God my Father, There
is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou
changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not; As
Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be. Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided, Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me! Summer
and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun,
moon and stars in their courses above, Join
with all nature in manifold witness To
Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. Pardon
for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence
to cheer and to guide; Strength
for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings
all mine, with ten thousand beside! Thomas O. Chisholm
(1866–1960), Clock here to hear a

TO
GOD BE THE GLORY! great things He hath done! So
loved He the world that He gave us His Son, Who
yielded His life an atonement for sin, And
opened the life-gate that all may go in. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let the earth hear His voice! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let the people rejoice! O come to the Father through Jesus the Son; And give Him the glory, great things He hath done! O
perfect redemption, the purchase of blood! To
every believer the promise of God; The
vilest offender who truly believes, That
moment from Jesus a pardon receives. Great
things He hath taught us, great things He hath done, And
great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son: But
purer and higher and greater will be Our
wonder, our worship, when Jesus we see! Clock

Praise,
my soul, the King of Heaven; Praise Him for His grace and favour Fatherlike He tends and spares us; Frail as summer’s flower we flourish, Angels, help us to adore Him; |
