Author: Edward Caswall Hymnal: Laudes Domini #391 (1888) Hymnal Title: Laudes Domini First Line: O Jesus! King most wonderful Lyrics: 1 O Jesus! King most wonderful,
Thou Conqueror renowned,
Thou sweetness most ineffable,
In whom all joys are found!
2 When once thou visitest the heart,
Then truth begins to shine,
Then earthly vanities depart,
Then kindles love divine.
3 O Jesus, Light of all below!
Thou Fount of life and fire!
Surpassing all the joys we know,
All that we can desire,--
4 May every heart confess thy name,
And ever thee adore;
And, seeking thee, itself inflame
To seek thee more and more.
5 Thee may our tongues for ever bless,
Thee may we love alone;
And ever in our life express
The image of thine own.
