Jesus, O Joy of loving hearts

Lyrics: Ber­nard of Clair­vaux, (trans by Ray Palmer. Mod. R.Mc.)
Music: MARYTON


Quebec   


Jesus, O Joy of loving hearts,
O Fount of life, O Light of men,
From the best bliss that earth imparts,
We turn unfilled to You again.

Your truth unchanged has ever stood;
You save all those who on You call;
To those who seek You, You are good,
To those who find You all in all.

We taste You, Oh, our living Bread,
And long to feast upon You still;
We drink of You, the Fountainhead,
Our thirsty souls from You to fill.

Our restless spirits yearn for Thee,
Wherever our changeful lot is cast;
Glad when Your gracious smile we see,
Blessed when our faith can hold You fast.

O Jesus, ever with us stay,
Make all our moments calm and bright;
Chase the dark night of sin away,
Shed over the world Your holy light.

Original Words

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.

Thy truth unchanged hath 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.

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.

Our restless spirits yearn for Thee,
Wherever our changeful lot is cast;
Glad when Thy gracious smile we see,
Blessed when our faith can hold Thee fast.

O Jesus, ever with us stay,
Make all our moments calm and bright;
Chase the dark night of sin away,

Shed over the world Thy holy light.
