- 1Love 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 trembling heart.
- 2Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit
- Into ev'ry troubled breast!
- Let us all in Thee inherit,
- Let us find Thy promised rest.
- Take away the love of sinning,
- Alpha and Omega be;
- End of faith, as its beginning,
- Set our hearts at liberty.
- 3Come, Almighty, to deliver,
- Let us all Thy life receive;
- Graciously 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.
- 4Finish 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.
