Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Love Divine 8787

JOHN STAINER

1. Love divine, all loves ex- cell-ing, Joy of heav'n to earth come down,

Fix in us Thy hum-ble dwell-ing, All Thy faith-ful mer-cies crown. A-men.

2

Jesus, 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 may we 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. Amen.
