1 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.

2 Your truth unchanged has ever stood;
You save all those who heed your call;
To those who seek you, you are good,
To those who find you-- all in all.

3 We taste you, Lord, our living bread,
And long to feast upon you still;
We drink of you, the fountainhead,
Our thirsty souls to quench and fill.

4 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.

5 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.
