242- Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts
Jesus Christ: Glory and Praise
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 has 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 Fountainhead,
- And thirst our souls from Thee to fill!
4
- Our restless spirits yearn for Thee,
- Wheree'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 a way,
- Shed o'er the world Thy holy light!
