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;
Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart.

Breathe, O 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.

Come, Almighty, to deliver,
Let us all Thy life receive;
May Thy presence e'er be with us,
Never more Thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thou wouldst approve,
Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing,
Glory in Thy perfect love.

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 with Thee we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love and praise.

A creed, also known as a confession of faith, a symbol, or a statement of faith, is a statement of the shared beliefs of a community asking for the Lord to be with us/them throughtout the journey.
And to finish the task.

How I love this hymn. It says so much about the Father heart of God. How compassionate He is and how divine His love for us.

I heard my Mom and sister sing this hymn from across the hallway one late night when I was feeling very low.
Only a truly God-inspired heart can compose a hymn as beautiful, touching, and meaningful as this.

As I meditated on Romans 2:4, specifically the perfect cause of being repentant which is the LORD’s kindness, tolerance & patience with me, the Spirit brought this great hymn to mind. It reflects a soul truly motivated to repent in gratitude for the LORD’s goodness and to the glory of God.

Agree with the comments about the power of the words and the right tune. The culmination of all that love flows into the last line, 'lost in wonder, love and praise', and speaks like few others of the encompassing nature of awe.
The devotional works and acts of its writer move me too.
Thanks also for your love and work, hymnal.

The person who wrote this song, really knew God. He had a revelation, of the goodness of God, and our calling heavenwards. It is fantastically inspirational, and one of my favourites, especially when sung with the gusto and correct music that this song deserves!
