Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The New Church Hymnal #154 (1976) First Line: Love divine, all loves excelling Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves 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.2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving SpiritInto ev'ry troubled breast!Let us all in Thee inherit,Let us find that perfect rest.Take away our bent to sinning,Alpha and Omega be;End of faith, as its beginning,Set our hearts at liberty.3 Come, Almighty, to deliver,Let us all Thy life receive;Suddenly return, and never,Nevermore 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.4 Finish then Thy new creation;Pure and spotless let us be;Let us see Thy great salvationPerfectly restored in Thee:Changed from glory into glory,Till in heav'n we take our place,tTll we cast our crowns before Thee,Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
