In Charles Wesley was elected to a Westminster studentship at Christ Church, Oxford, where he took his degree in , and became a college tutor. Considered by many to be among Charles Wesley's PHH finest texts, "Love Divine" was published in four stanzas in his Hymns for those that seek, and those that have Redemption in the Blood of Christ Many hymnals, including the Psalter Hymnal, omit the original second stanza, which contained the questionable line "take away our power of sinning.
Addressed to Christ, this text begins as a prayer for the indwelling of his love in our lives: "fix in us thy humble dwelling" and "let us all thy life receive" st.
A tone of praise and adoration runs throughout the text. But the final stanza is clearly a prayer for sanctification, for consistently holy lives. Though this stanza was an outcome of the Specifically Wesleyan doctrine of perfection, it is our fervent Christian prayer that our sanctification will ultimately lead to glorification.
As is customary in a Charles Wesley text, biblical allusions abound. Liturgical Use: As a sung prayer, probably towards the end of the service or, given its tone of praise, as a closing hymn; Advent.

Stevenson has an interesting note thereon in his Methodist Hymn Book Notes , , p. On April 29, , millions of people around the world turned on their televisions to watch one of the most anticipated spectacles of the year: the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. This, we argue so easily, is love. And yet this hymn reorients us to see that this beautiful wedding and marriage is only, and can only ever be, a reflection of the Love above all loves.
We are only able to love one another because Christ first loved us. God is love, and we are the mirrors and bearers of that love to each other. Let us pray that we would continually be filled with Love, that we might bless each other, and become more and more like He who loves us. The hymn is in fact a prayer: through the incarnated Christ, we pray for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and ask that we would never be separated from the love of God in Christ, who works in us and through us until our time on earth is done.
There are three popular tunes for this hymn. So be careful to glide into that note gracefully. It would be particularly fitting during the Advent season, a time in which we ask God to continue working in and through us to bring about His kingdom.

Our praise team introduces new songs in 3 steps over 3 weeks: 1 Play as Prelude 2 Play as Offertory 3 Add to set. Hi Anna, The best way to introduce hymns is kind of a 2 step process: 1 Choose 1 hymn and make it contemporary.
A lot of artists have done hymns in modern ways, so just copy them. This process has worked well for me. I now have quite a few hymns I do on a regular basis. Thank you so much for your suggestions. I so appreciate your efforts in making needed resources available.
At the church I lead worship I know there is a need to do more hymns, however, it is difficult to learn a new hymn and incorporate it in with the more contemporary songs. Question: In an effort to add more hymns, I wonder if the best idea would be to add one or two in with each contemporary song set, or if perhaps I should use mostly all hymns for the worship during one service ex: Sunday nights.
