1 Love Divine, all love excelling,
Joy of heav'n, to earth come down;
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,
All Thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, Thou art all compassion;
2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit
Let us find the promised rest.
Take away the love of sinning;
3 Come, Almighty, to deliver,
May Thy presence e'er be with us,
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thou wouldst approve,
4 Finish, then, Thy new creation;
Let us see Thy great salvation
Till with Thee we take our place,
