| | | St. Bernard of Clairvaux. Tr. Ray Palmer (1091–1153) |
| |
| |
| JESUS, Thou Joy of loving hearts! | |
| Thou Fount of Life! Thou Light of men! | |
| From the best bliss that earth imparts, | |
| We turn unfill’d to Thee again. | |
| |
| Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood; | 5 |
| Thou savest those that on Thee call; | |
| To them that seek Thee, Thou art good, | |
| To them that find Thee, All in All! | |
| |
| We taste Thee, O Thou Living Bread, | |
| And long to feast upon Thee still! | 10 |
| We drink of Thee, the Fountain Head, | |
| And thirst our souls from Thee to fill! | |
| |
| Our restless spirits yearn for Thee, | |
| Where’er our changeful lot is cast; | |
| Glad, when Thy gracious smile we see, | 15 |
| Blest, when our faith can hold Thee fast. | |
| |
| 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! | 20 |
