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 every trembling heart.

Breathe, O breathe Thy loving SpiritInto every troubled breast!
2nd Stanza continued
Let us all in Thee inherit,Let us find that second rest.
2nd Stanza continued
Take away our bent to sinning,Alpha and Omega be;End of faith, as its beginning,Set our hearts at liberty.
3rd Stanza
Come, almighty to deliver,Let us all Thy life receive;Suddenly return, and never,Nevermore Thy temples leave.
3rd Stanza continued
Thee we would be alwaysblessing,Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
3rd Stanza continued
Pray and praise Thee without ceasing,Glory in Thy perfect love.
Last Stanza
Finish then Thy new creation,Pure and spotless let us be;Let us see Thy great salvationPerfectly restored in Thee:
Last Stanza continued
Changed from glory into glory,Till in heav’n we take our place,
Last Stanza continued
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
