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.

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.

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.

Our restless spirits yearn for Thee,

Where’er our changeful lot is cast;

Glad when Thy gracious smile we see,

Blest when our faith can hold Thee fast.

O Jesus, ever with us stay;

Make all our moments calm and bright;

Chase the dark night of sin away;

Shed o’er the world Thy holy light.
