Love divine, all love excelling

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 1,863 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Love 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 every trembling heart. 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving spirit Into every troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find the promised rest, Come, almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive! Speedily return, and never, Never more Thy temples leave! 3 Finish then Thy new creation, Pure, unspotted 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. Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE
