Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 1,872 hymnals First Line: Love divine, all love excelling Lyrics: 1 Love 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. 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into ev'ry troubled breast! Help us all in Thee inherit, Help us find that sweetest rest. Take away our bent to sinning; Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Thou Almighty to deliver, Help us all Thy life receive; Suddenly return, and never, Nevermore Thy temple 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 help 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. Amen. Used With Tune: [Love divine, all love excelling]

Will L. Thompson

1847 - 1909 Person Name: W. L. T. Hymnal Number: 117 Author of "Lead Me Gently Home, Father" in Christian Hymns Will Lamartine Thompson (1847-1909) Born: November 7, 1847, East Liverpool, Ohio. Died: September 20, 1909, New York, New York. Buried: Riverview Cemetery, East Liverpool, Ohio. Rebuffed in an early attempt to sell his songs to a commercial publisher, Thompson started his own publishing company. He later expanded, opening a store to sell pianos, organs and sheet music. Both a lyricist and composer, he ensured he would always remember words or melodies that came to him at odd times: "No matter where I am, at home or hotel, at the store or traveling, if an idea or theme comes to me that I deem worthy of a song, I jot it down in verse. In this way I never lose it." Thompson took ill during a tour of Europe, and his family cut short their travels to return home. He died a few weeks later.
