O Jesus, Joy of Loving Hearts

  1. O Jesus, joy of loving hearts,
    thou fount of life, thou light of men,
    from fullest bliss that earth imparts
    we turn unfilled to thee again,
    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,
    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 fountainhead,
    and thirst our souls from thee to fill,
    and thirst our souls from thee to fill.
  4. Our restless spirits yearn for thee,
    where’er our changeful lot is cast,
    glad that thy gracious smile we see,
    blest that our faith can hold thee fast,
    blest that 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,
    shed o’er the world thy holy light.
