242 – Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts                     

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,

Where-e’r 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’r the world Thy holy light!
