629b. Jesu, Joy of Our Desiring (Come with Us)

1 Come with us, O blessed Jesus,
With a faith forever new;
And in leaving now your altar,
Let us nevermore leave you.
O let your angel chorus
Cease not the heav'nly strain;
But in us, your loving children,
Bring peace, good will again.

2 You are God from everlasting.
God of God and Light of Light;
You are God, your glory veiling,
That we all may bear the sight.
Sustain us, Lord, and help us,
Our daily life to bear,
That through us, your holy teaching
May shine forth ev'rywhere.
