Words
⤢ Full screenLove 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.
Breathe, O breathe thy loving SpiritInto every troubled breast!Let us all thy grace inherit;Let us find thy promised rest.
