Love Divine, All Loves Excelling ================================ w: Charles Wesley, 1747 m: John Stainer, 1889 tune: Love Divine [Verse 1] Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heav'n, to earth come down, fix in us thy humble dwelling; all thy faithful mercies crown. [Verse 2] Jesus, thou art all compassion; pure, unbounded love thou art; visit us with thy salvation, enter ev'ry trembling heart. [Verse 3] Come, almighty to deliver; let us all thy grace receive; suddenly return, and never, nevermore thy temples leave. [Verse 4] Thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above, pray and praise thee without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love. [Verse 5] Finish then, thy new creation; pure and spotless let us be; let us see thy great salvation perfectly restored in thee. [Verse 6] 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.
