Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,906 hymnals Topics: Proper 7 Year B 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. Jesus, thou art all compassion, pure, unbounded love thou art; visit us with thy salvation, enter every trembling heart. 2 Come, almighty to deliver, let us all thy life receive; suddenly return, and never, nevermore thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above, pray, and praise thee, without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love. 3 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 in heaven we take our place, till we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise.

All my trust on you is stayed, all my help from you I bring; Cover my defenseless head with the shadow of your wing. 3 Plenteous grace in you is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within. Fount of life, your love impart, fill my cup abundantly; Spring up now within my heart, rise to all eternity. Used With Tune: MARTYN
