Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,863 hymnals Lyrics: 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.
2 Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit
into every 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.
3 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.
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.

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Author: Robert Robinson; Martin Madan Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,202 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing;
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above;
praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
mount of God’s unchanging love!
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer;
hither by thy help I’m come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.
3 O to grace how great a debtor
daily I’m constrained to be!
Let that grace now, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here’s my heart; O take and seal it;
seal it for thy courts above.

All for Jesus
Author: Mary D. James Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E88 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: All for Jesus! all for Jesus! Lyrics: 1 All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
All my being's ransomed pow'rs:
All my tho'ts, and words, and doings,
All my days and all my hours.
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
All my days, and all my hours;
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
All my days, and all my hours.
2 Let my hands perform His bidding,
Let my feet run in His ways--
Let my eyes see Jesus only,
Let my lips speak forth His praise.
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Let my lips speak forth His praise;
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Let my lips speak forth His praise.
3 Since my eyes were fixed on Jesus,
I've lost sight of all besides:
So enchained my spirit's vision,
Looking at the Crucified;
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Looking at the Crucified;
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Looking at the Crucified.
4 Oh, what wonder! how amazing!
Jesus, glorious King of kings--
Deigns to call me His beloved,
Lets me rest beneath His wings.
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Resting now beneath His wings:
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Resting now beneath His wings. Topics: Confession and Consecration Languages: English Tune Title: ALL FOR JESUS

Allt hos mig til lifvets slut,
Hvarje tanke, ord och gärning,
Hvarje gad och hvar minut,
Altt för Jesus! O betänk det,
Han rår om oss hvar minut,
Snart vi skåda få hans anlet'
I osäglig fröjd till slut.
2 Världen si na pärlor prisar,
Är med gyllne glitter nöjd,
Fikar efter lust och ära.
Endast Jesus är min fröjd.
Endast han skall hjärtat hafva,
Ingenting skall skilja mig
Från hans kärlek underbara,
Från hans trohet innerlig.
3 Sen jag fick min blick på Jesus,
Annat allt för mig försvann.
Han, som led för mig på korset,
Så mitt hjärtas kärlek vann.
Allt för Jesus! han min kärlek
Vunnit har till evig tid.
Gärna bär jag världens smälek,
Blott jag har i honom frid.
4 O hvad sällhet, o hvad under!
Han som herrars Herre är,
Jesus själf, sin vän mig kallar
Och uti sin famn mig bär.
Allt för Jesus! Han är värdig
Lof och pris och ära ha,
Hyllningssången, skön och härlig,
Här och uti himlarna.

Shirley Erena Murray
1931 - 2020 Person Name: Shirley Erena Murray, b. 1931 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Author of "Come and Find the Quiet Center" in New Wine In Old Wineskins Shirley Erena Murray (b. Invercargill, New Zealand, 1931) studied music as an undergraduate but received a master’s degree (with honors) in classics and French from Otago University. Her upbringing was Methodist, but she became a Presbyterian when she married the Reverend John Stewart Murray, who was a moderator of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand. Shirley began her career as a teacher of languages, but she became more active in Amnesty International, and for eight years she served the Labor Party Research Unit of Parliament. Her involvement in these organizations has enriched her writing of hymns, which address human rights, women’s concerns, justice, peace, the integrity of creation, and the unity of the church. Many of her hymns have been performed in CCA and WCC assemblies. In recognition for her service as a writer of hymns, the New Zealand government honored her as a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit on the Queen’s birthday on 3 June 2001. Through Hope Publishing House, Murray has published three collections of her hymns: In Every Corner Sing (eighty-four hymns, 1992), Everyday in Your Spirit (forty-one hymns, 1996), and Faith Makes the Song (fifty hymns, 2002). The New Zealand Hymnbook Trust, for which she worked for a long time, has also published many of her texts (cf. back cover, Faith Makes the Song). In 2009, Otaga University conferred on her an honorary doctorate in literature for her contribution to the art of hymn writing.

Cecil Frances Alexander
1818 - 1895 Person Name: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Author of "Jesus Calls Us o'er the Tumult" in The Worshiping Church As a small girl, Cecil Frances Humphries (b. Redcross, County Wicklow, Ireland, 1818; Londonderry, Ireland, 1895) wrote poetry in her school's journal. In 1850 she married Rev. William Alexander, who later became the Anglican primate (chief bishop) of Ireland. She showed her concern for disadvantaged people by traveling many miles each day to visit the sick and the poor, providing food, warm clothes, and medical supplies. She and her sister also founded a school for the deaf. Alexander was strongly influenced by the Oxford Movement and by John Keble's Christian Year. Her first book of poetry, Verses for Seasons, was a "Christian Year" for children. She wrote hymns based on the Apostles' Creed, baptism, the Lord's Supper, the Ten Commandments, and prayer, writing in simple language for children. Her more than four hundred hymn texts were published in Verses from the Holy Scripture (1846), Hymns for Little Children (1848), and Hymns Descriptive and Devotional ( 1858).
Bert Polman
==================
Alexander, Cecil Frances, née Humphreys, second daughter of the late Major John Humphreys, Miltown House, co. Tyrone, Ireland, b. 1823, and married in 1850 to the Rt. Rev. W. Alexander, D.D., Bishop of Derry and Raphoe. Mrs. Alexander's hymns and poems number nearly 400. They are mostly for children, and were published in her Verses for Holy Seasons, with Preface by Dr. Hook, 1846; Poems on Subjects in the Old Testament, pt. i. 1854, pt. ii. 1857; Narrative Hymns for Village Schools, 1853; Hymns for Little Children, 1848; Hymns Descriptive and Devotional, 1858; The Legend of the Golden Prayers 1859; Moral Songs, N.B.; The Lord of the Forest and his Vassals, an Allegory, &c.; or contributed to the Lyra Anglicana, the S.P.C.K. Psalms and Hymns, Hymns Ancient & Modern, and other collections. Some of the narrative hymns are rather heavy, and not a few of the descriptive are dull, but a large number remain which have won their way to the hearts of the young, and found a home there. Such hymns as "In Nazareth in olden time," "All things bright and beautiful," "Once in Royal David's city," "There is a green hill far away," "Jesus calls us o'er the tumult," "The roseate hues of early dawn," and others that might be named, are deservedly popular and are in most extensive use. Mrs. Alexander has also written hymns of a more elaborate character; but it is as a writer for children that she has excelled.
- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid

with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format.
