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 Fountain-head, and thirst our souls from Thee to fill. 4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee, where'er our changeful lot is cast; glad when Thy gracious smile we see, blest 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 o'er the world Thy holy light.
