Love Divine

Love divine, all loves excelling
Joy of heaven, to earth come down
Fix in us your humble dwelling
All your faithful mercies crown
Jesus, you are all compassion
Pure, unbounded love you are
Visit us with your salvation
Enter every trembling heart

Breathe, oh breathe your loving Spirit
Into every troubled breast
Let us all in you inherit
Let us find the promised rest
Take away the love of sinning
When the eyes of faith are blurred
Cleanse us by your love forgiving
Wounds exposed by living word

Come, Almighty to deliver
Let us all your life receive
Suddenly return and never
Nevermore your presence leave
You we would be always blessing
Serve you as your hosts above
Pray and praise you without ceasing
Glory in your perfect love

Finish, then, your new creation
Pure and spotless let us be
Let us see your great salvation
Perfectly restored in you
Changed from glory into glory
Till in heaven we take our place
Till we cast our crowns before you
Lost in wonder, love and praise
