Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heav'n, to earth come down;
Fixed in us 'Thy humble dwelling, all thy faithful mercies crowned!
Jesus, Thou art all compassion, pure un-bounded love Thou art;
Visit'd us with Thy salvation, entered ev'ry trembling heart!
Thou didst breathe Thy loving Spirit into ev'ry troubled breast!
We do all in Thee inherit, and have gain-ed Thy true rest.
Take away our bent to sinning, we do humbly beg of Thee;
End of faith, as it's beginning, Thou hast truly set us free!
Come, almighty to deliver, we have all Thy life received;
Thou hast come and dwelt among, nevermore Thy temples leave.
Thee we shall be always blessing, serve Thee with Thy hosts above,
Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, glory in Thy perfect love!
Finish'd then, Thy new creation, pure and spotless in Thy sight;
We have seen Thy great salvation, perfectly restored in Thee:
Changed from glory unto glory, now in Thee we've tak'n our place,
As we cast our crowns before Thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise!
