Love Divine, All Loves Excelling Songtext
von Matthew Smith

Love divine, all loves 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
Pure, unbounded love Thou art
Visit us with thy salvation
Enter every trembling, every trembling heart

Breathe, oh, breathe Thy loving Spirit
Into every troubled breast
Let us all in Thee inherit
Let us find the promised rest
Take away the love of sinning
Alpha and Omega be
End of faith, as its beginning
Set our hearts at liberty, at liberty


Come, Almighty, to deliver
Let us all Thy life receive
Suddenly return, and never
Nevermore 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, in Thy perfect love

Pure and spotless let us be
Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee
Changed from glory into glory
Til in heaven we take our place
Til we cast our crowns before Thee
Lost in wonder, love, in wonder, love and praise

Wonder, love and praise
Wonder, love and praise
