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, 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!
