Love Divine

1Love divine, all love 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 ev'ry trembling heart.

2Breathe,
O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into ev'ry troubled breast!
Let us all Thy grace inherit,
Let us find Thy promised rest.
Take away our bent to sinning;
Alpha and Omega be;
End of faith, as its beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.

3Finish 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.
