HYMN - Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Stanza 1:

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.

Stanza 2:

Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit,

Into every troubled breast!

Let us all in Thee inherit;

Let us find that second rest.

Take away our bent to sinning;

Alpha and Omega be;

End of faith, as its Beginning,

Set our hearts at liberty.

Stanza 3:

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.

Stanza 4:

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

February Bible Memory Verses

Song - I am a Soldier

I am a Soldier
I’m a soldier bound for glory,
I’m a soldier going home;
Come and hear me tell my story—
All who love the Savior, come.


  Refrain:
I love Jesus, hallelujah!
I love Jesus, yes, I do, I do;
I love Jesus, He’s my Savior;
Jesus smiles and loves me too.


I will tell you what induced me
In the glorious fight to start:
’Twas the Savior’s loving-kindness
Overcame and won my heart.


When I first commenced my warfare,
Many said, “He’ll run away”;
But their words have been unfounded—
In the fight I am today.


I’m “a wonder unto many,”
God alone the change has wrought;
Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by His help I’m brought.


When to death’s dark, swelling river,
Like a warrior I shall come,
Then I mean to shout “Salvation!”
And go singing “glory!” home.
