Je-sus, Thou joy of lov-ing hearts,
Thou fount of life, Thou light of men,
From the best bliss that earth im-parts
We turn un-filled to Thee a-gain.
Thy truth un-changed hath ev-er stood,
Thou sav-est those who on Thee call;
To them that seek Thee Thou art good,
To them that find Thee all in all.
We taste Thee, O Thou liv-ing bread,
And long to feast up-on Thee still;
We drink of Thee, the foun-tain-head,
And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.
Our rest-less spir-its yearn for Thee,
Wher-e'er our change-ful lot is cast:
Glad when Thy gra-cious smile we see,
Blest when our faith can hold Thee fast.
O Jes-us ev-er with us stay,
Make all our mo-ments calm and bright;
Chase the dark night of sin a-way,
Shed o'er the world Thy ho-ly light.
