First Line: Love divine, all loves excelling,

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 longing heart !

2 Breathe, oh, breathe Thy loving Spirit
Into every troubled breast !
Let us all in Thee inherit,
Let us find Thy promised rest.
Come, Almighty to deliver !
Let us all Thy grace receive ;
Suddenly return, and never,
Never more Thy temples leave.

3 Finish, then, Thy new creation,
Pure and spotless may we be ;
Let us see our whole salvation
Perfectly secured by 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 !
