Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Laudes Domini #311 (1888) First Line: Love divine, all love excelling Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all love 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 Breathe, oh, breathe thy loving Spirit,
Into every trouble breast!
Let us all in thee inherit,
Let us find the promised rest:
Come, almighty to deliver,
Let us all thy life receive!
Speedily return, and never,
Never more thy temples leave!
3 Finish then thy new creation,
Pure, unspotted may we be:
Let us see our whole salvation
Perfectly secured by 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. Topics: Afflictions; Assurance Prayer for; Backsliding; Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin; Christ Compassion of Scripture: Philippians 1:6 Languages: English Tune Title: MANSFIELD
