Jesus, Thou joy of loving hearts

1.

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 call

We drink of Thee, the fountain Head

And thirst our souls from Thee to fill

4.

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

5.

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.
