O JESUS JOY OF LOVING HEARTS

​

O Jesus, joy of loving hearts,

The fount of life and our true light,

We seek the peace

your love imparts,

And stand rejoicing in your sight.

O JESUS JOY OF LOVING HEARTS

​

Your truth unchanged

has ever stood,

You save all those who on You call;

To those who seek, You are all-good.

To those who find You, all-in-all.

O JESUS JOY OF LOVING HEARTS

​

We taste in you our living bread,

And long to feast upon you still;

We drink of you, the fountain-head,

Our thirsting souls to quench and fill.

O JESUS JOY OF LOVING HEARTS

​

For you our restless spirits yearn

Where'er our changing lot is cast;

Glad, when your presence

we discern,

Blest, when our faith

can hold you fast.

O JESUS JOY OF LOVING HEARTS

​

O Jesus, ever with us stay;

Make all our moments

calm and bright;

O chase the night of sin away,

Shed o'er the world

your holy light.
