Love Divine Hymn 3

1st Stanza Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heav’n, to earth come down;

1st Stanza continued Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown.

1st Stanza continued Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart.

2nd Stanza Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into every troubled breast!

2nd Stanza continued Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find that second rest.

2nd Stanza continued Take away our bent to sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty.

3rd Stanza Come, almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Suddenly return, and never, Nevermore Thy temples leave.

3rd Stanza continued Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,

3rd Stanza continued Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love.

Last Stanza Finish then Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee:

Last Stanza continued Changed from glory into glory, Till in heav’n we take our place,

Last Stanza continued Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Invocation & Gloria Patri Hymnal (inside front cover)

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;

as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.
