Penned by prolific hymnist Charles Wesley, ‘Love Divine, All Loves Excelling’ was sung by the congregation of Westminster Abbey at the wedding of William and Catherine, Prince and Princess of Wales.
The uplifting words to ‘Love Divine, All Loves Excelling’ were written in 1747 by the prolific hymn lyricist and leader of the English Methodist movement, Charles Wesley, whose stand-out hymnal texts include ‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’.
In the years to follow, ‘Love Divine’ would become one of the nation’s favourite hymns. By the end of the 19th century, it was found in 15 of the 17 hymn books consulted by the authors of Lyric Studies.
