One of my favourite bits of 'trivia' is that Wesley wrote the words of Love divine' to the tune of Purcell's Fairest Isle. We sang it as a choir piece and not only do the words fit well I think there is a also an element of 'parody' (in the purest sense) of Dryden's original words.
I think this is the first time we have sung Lo, he comes as a hymn. Following last year it serves as a preparation for our Advent 'Helmsley Alleluia'.
