By A Collection of Hymns

      8s & 7s.
      1 LOVE Divine, all loves excelling,
      Joy of heaven, to earth come down!
      Fix in us thy humble dwelling,
      All thy faithful mercies crown;
      Jesu, 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 grace receive;
      Suddenly return, and never,
      Never more, 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!
