1. Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts, The fount of life, the light of all; From ev'ry bliss that earth imparts We turn, unfilled, to hear your call. 2. Your truth unchanged has ever stood; You plead with all to call on you; To those who seek you, you are good; To those who find you, life is new.

3. We taste you, everliving bread, And long to feast upon you still; We drink of you, the fountainhead; Our thirsting souls from you we fill. 4. For you our restless spirits yearn, Where'er our changing lot is cast; Glad when you smile on us you turn, Blest, when by faith we hold you fast.

5. O Jesus, ever with us stay! Make all our moments fair and bright! Oh, chase the night of sin away! Shed o'er the world your holy light.
