1 Jesu, 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 still; We drink of Thee, the Fountain Head, And thirst from Thee our souls 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 Jesu, 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! Amen.
