Sir John Stainer's fine tune is here set to Charles Wesley's immortal words, 'Love divine, all loves excelling'. The introduction is designed to evoke a feeling of awe, and a broad, confident style will set the pattern for the whole arrangement. Contrast in color has been sought in the scoring but special effects must not be allowed to obscure the melody. The arrangement ends in an atmosphere suggested by the words 'Lost in wonder, love and praise'.
