Love Divine All Loves Excelling - Lyrics

Love divine all loves excelling
joy of heav'n 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 the promised rest


Take away our 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
nevermore 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 heav'n we take our place
till we cast our crowns before Thee
lost in wonder love and praise
