1 O Jesus, joy of loving hearts,
thou fount, thou light for all to see:
from the best bliss that earth imparts
we turn unfilled again to thee.
2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood;
thou savest those that on thee call;
to those who seek thee thou art good;
to those who 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 For thee our restless spirits yearn
where'er our changeful lot is cast,
glad when thy gracious smile we see,
blest that our faith can hold thee fast.
5 O Jesus, always 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.
