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 !
