LyicsLOVE divine, all love excelling!
Joy of heaven, to earth come down
Fix in us thy humble dwelling,
With thy faithful mercies crown:
Jesus! thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love thou art:
Perfect us in thy salvation,
Enter every waiting heart.
Come! almighty to deliver,
Let us all new life receive!
Suddenly return-and never,
Never more thy temples leave,
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve these as thy hosts above;
Pray, and praise thee without ceasing,
Glory in thy precious love.
