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 has 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,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!
