GOD’S EXCELLING LOVE!
1 John 4:16 – Devotional
“And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.”
In this week’s featured video devotional, Love Divine, All Loves Excelling, Charles Wesley has penned so many nuggets of truth in this hymn that you could spend a long time meditating on each short thought. Take a moment today to read through the lyrics carefully and listen to this worshipful piano rendition by Linda Hightower.
Love Divine, All Loves Excelling – Charles Wesley (1707-1788)
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 ev’ry trembling heart.
Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit
into ev’ry troubled breast.
Let us all in thee inherit,
let us find the 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,
nevermore they 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;
true 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.
