Tune: Exultet caelum laudibus (Mode ii)

lyrics

1 Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts,
Thou fount of life, thou light of all,
From the best bliss that earth imparts
We turn unfilled to thee again.

2 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.

3 We taste thee, O thou living bread,
And long to feast upon thee still;
We drink of thee, the fountain-head,
And thirst our souls from thee to fill.

4 Our restless spirits yearn for thee,
Where’er our changeful lot is cast,
Glad when thy gracious smile we see,
Blest when our faith can hold thee fast.

5 O Jesu, ever with us stay,
Make all our moments calm and bright;
Chase the dark night of sin away,
Shed o’er the world thy holy light.
Amen.

Jesu, dulcedo cordium
