During prayer meeting, we sang this hymn at the end of the meeting. It was a really beautiful hymn, somehow the words just shouted out to me…
Love divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth come down;
Making us Thy humble dwelling,
All Thy faithful mercies crown;
Jesus, Thou art all compassion;
Pure, unbounded love Thou art,
Visit us with Thine affection,
Enter every longing heart.
Come almighty, to deliver!
Let us all Thy grace receive,
Follow in Thy steps, and never,
Nevermore the pathway leave;
Then our hearts will yield their blessing,
Sweet incense to God above,
Offer praises without ceasing,
Glory in Thy perfect love.
First fruits of Thy new creation,
Faithful, holy, may we be,
Joyful in Thy great salvation,
Daily more conformed to Thee;
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place,
Then to worship and adore Thee,
Lost in wonder, love and praise.
(Hymn 413 in the Believer's hymn book)
The last sentence in particular is my favorite - ‘lost in wonder, love and grace’. Sometimes we try too hard to make sense of everything and we fail to realize when it comes to the things of God, things often get too big and just beyond human comprehension, that we just get lost in the wonder of it!
