Lyrics
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 still;
We drink of Thee,
the Fountainhead,
And thirst our souls
from Thee to fill.
4. Our restless spirits
yearn for Thee,
Wherever our changeful
lot is cast;
Glad when Thy gracious
smile we see,
Blessed 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 over the world
Thy holy light.
6. **alt version***
7. O Jesus, joy
of loving hearts,
the fount of life
and our true light,
we seek the peace
your love imparts,
and stand rejoicing
in your sight.
8. We taste in you
our living bread,
and long to feast
upon you still;
we drink of you,
the fountain-head,
our thirsting souls
to quench and fill.
9. For you our restless
spirits yearn
where'er our changing
lot is cast;
glad, when your presence
we discern,
blest, when our faith
can hold you fast.
10. O Jesus, ever with us stay;
make all our moments
calm and bright;
oh, chase the night
of sin away,
shed o'er the world
your holy light.
