Jesus, Thou Joy of loving hearts,
Thou
fount of life, Thou light of men,
From
the best bliss that earth imparts,
We
turn unfilled to Thee again.
2
Thy
truth unchanged hath ever stood;
Thou
savest those that on Thee call;
To
them that seek Thee Thou art good,
To
them that find Thee all in all.
3
We
taste Thee, O Thou living Bread,
And
long to feast upon Thee still;
We
drink of Thee, the Fountain head,
And
thirst our souls from Thee to fill.
4
Our
restless spirits yearn for Thee,
Wherever
our changeful lot is cast;
Glad
when Thy gracious smile we see,
Blessed
when our faith can hold Thee fast.
5
O
Jesus, ever with us stay,
Make
all our moments calm and bright;
Chase
the dark night of sin away,
Shed
over the world Thy holy light.
