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 feed 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,

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!
