Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts by John Frederick Lampe — Lyrics
Jesu, 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;
