Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,869 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling,
joy of heaven, to earth come down,
fix in us thy humble dwelling,
all thy faithful mercies crown.
2 Jesu, 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 grace receive;
suddenly return, and never,
never more thy temples leave.
4 Thee we would be always 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 thy great salvation
perfectly restored in 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. Topics: Epiphany IV Year C; Third Sunday Before Lent Year C; Proper 6 Year A Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE
