Love divine, all loves excelling was a recent commission by Fr David Gibbons of the Church of the Sacred Heart, Wimbledon, and was first performed there by the church choir under Bob Rathbone for the Feast of the Sacred Heart in June 2024.

The anthem is in several contrasting sections, mirroring the different verses of Charles Wesley's well-known text. After an initial organ introduction the choir enters with a confident opening statement which is then partially repeated with the melody in the tenor. A transitional organ passage leads into a more reflective piu mosso section in triple time that contrasts higher with lower voices. A quiet coda then heralds a change of mood, with the organ supplying an extended fanfare before the choir enters with robust block harmony at "Come, Almighty to deliver".

The following section beginning “Thee we would be always blessing” is set to a tripping compound-time tune in 2-part canon that quickly moves through several keys, before another organ climax presages an extended choral fugue based on a figure first heard at the start of the piece. The anthem’s two main themes finally combine to conclude matters in suitably jubilant fashion.
