I am venturing to interpose a hymn tune that I've just been composing; I appreciated the comments on the last one I posted. They helped me edit the tune to a final form.

Wesley's text "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling" is not often (maybe never) heard in a Catholic context, I guess. However, it follows a stream of thought very similar to St Bernard's in his treatise De diligendo Deo. There is the same movement toward what Bernard calls "the third degree" of love—loving God for God's sake; and beyond that to its fourth and highest degree—loving the self for God's sake.

Too similar to BLAENWERN; that is perhaps the greatest stroke against it? Ah, but new thoughts are very infrequent in this world...
