LOVE DIVINE, ALL LOVE EXCELLING
Lyrics: Charles Wesley?
Music: John Zundel
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 every trembling heart.
Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit
? Into every troubled breast;
Let us all in Thee inherit,
? Let us find the promised rest.
Take away the love of sinning;
? Alpha and Omega be;
End of faith, as its beginning,
? Set our hearts at liberty.
Come, Almighty, to deliver,
? Let us all Thy life receive;
May Thy presence e’er be with us,
? Never more Thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
? Serve Thee as Thou wouldst approve,
Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing,
? Glory in Thy perfect love.
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 with Thee we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
? Lost in wonder, love and praise.
