“I will love him.” John 14. 20-23

1 Love 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;
  Comfort every sinking heart.

2 Breathe, O breathe thy blessed Spirit
  Into every troubled breast!
  Let us all in thee inherit;
  Let us find thy promised rest.
  Take away the love of sinning;
  Alpha and Omega be;
  End of faith, as its beginning,
  Set our hearts at liberty.

3 Carry on thy new creation;
  Pure and holy may we be;
  Let us see our whole salvation
  Perfectly secured by 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.
