Author: Rev. Chas. Wesley Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #432b (1894) Meter: 8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all love excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth come down!
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling:
All Thy faithful mercies crown.
2 Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love Thou art:
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart.
3 Come, almighty to deliver,
Let us all Thy life receive;
Come to us, dear Lord, and never,
Never more Thy temples leave.
4 Thee we would be alway blessing;
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above;
Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing,
Glory in Thy perfect love.
5 Finish then Thy new creation,
Pure and spotless let us be;
Let us see our whole salvation
Perfectly secured by Thee:
6 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. Amen. Topics: Parochial Missions; Aspiration; Love Of God Tune Title: [Love divine, all love excelling]
