LyicsLOVE 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 longing heart.
Breathe, O breathe, thy loving Spirit
Into ev'ry troubled breast!
Let us all in thee inherit,
Let us find thy promis'd rest.
Take away the love of sinning,
Alpha and Omega be;
End of faith, as its beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.
Finish, then, thy new creation;
Pure, unspotted may we be;
Let us see our whole salvation,
Perfectly secur'd by thee:
Chang'd from glory unto glory,
Till in heav'n we take our place;
Till we cast our crowns before thee,
Lost in wonder, love and praise!
