Love Divine

Love Divine, all loves excelling,

Joy of heaven, to earth come down,

Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,

All Thy faithful mercies crown.

Jesus, Thou art all compassion,

Pure unbounded love Thou art;

Visit us with Thy salvation,

Enter every trembling heart.

 

Breathe, O breathe, Thy loving Spirit

Into every troubled breast;

Let us all in thee inherit

Let us find Thy promised rest;

Take away the love of sinning

Alpha and Omega be;

End of faith, as its beginning

Set our hearts at liberty

 

Come, almighty to deliver;

Let us all Thy life receive;

Suddenly return, and never,

Never more Thy temples leave.

Thee we would be always blessing,

Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,

Pray, and praise Thee, without ceasing,

Glory in Thy perfect love.

 

Finish then Thy new creation:

Pure and spotless let us be:

Let us see Thy great salvation,

Perfectly restored in Thee,

Changed from glory into glory,

Till in heaven we take our place,

Till we cast our crowns before Thee,

Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

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.

 

Firstfruits 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.
