Full Lyrics

VERSE 1 Jesus bleibet meine Freude, meines Herzens Trost und Saft. Jesus wehret allem Leide, Er ist meines Lebens Kraft. meiner Augen Lust und Sonne, meiner Seele Schatz und Wonne; darum lass ich Jesum nicht, aus dem Herzen und Gesicht. VERSE 2 Jesu, Joy of man's desiring, Holy wisdom, love most bright. Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring, Soar to uncreated light. Word of God, our flesh that fashion'd, With the fire of life impassion'd. Striving still to truth unknown, Soaring, dying round Thy throne.
