————————— Verse 1: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————

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 trembling heart



————————— Verse 2: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————

Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit, into every troubled breast


Let us all in Thee inherit, let us find the promised rest


Take away our bent to sinning, Alpha and Omega be


End of faith as its beginning, set our hearts at liberty



————————— Verse 3: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————

Come Almighty to deliver, let us all Thy life receive


Suddenly return and never, never more Thy temples leave


Thee we would be always blessing, serve Thee as Thy hosts above


Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, glory in Thy perfect love



————————— Verse 4: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————

Finish then Thy new creation, pure and spotless let us be


Let us see Thy great salvation, perfectly restored in Thee


Changed from glory into glory, till in heav'n we take our place


Till we cast our crowns before Thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise
