Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts ================================ w: attr. to Bernard of Clairvaux; arr. and tr. by Ray Palmer m: Henry Baker, 1854 Tune: Quebec (or Hesperus) Meter: LMD Alternate tunes: Ealing, Mendon, Silver Hill, Maryton [Verse 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. [Verse 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. [Verse 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. [Verse 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. [Verse 5] O Jesus, 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.
