Author: Bernard of Clairvaux; Edward Caswall Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5038 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O Jesu, Thou the beauty art
Of angel worlds above;
Thy name is music to the heart,
Enchanting it with love.
2. Celestial sweetness unalloyed!
Who eat Thee hunger still:
Who drink of Thee still feel a void,
Which naught but Thou can fill.
3. O my sweet Jesus! hear the sighs
Which unto Thee I send;
To Thee mine inmost spirit cries,
My being’s hope and end!
4. Stay with us, Lord, and with Thy light
Illume the soul’s abyss;
Scatter the darkness of our night,
And fill the world with bliss.
5. O Jesu! spotless virgin-flower!
Our life and joy! To Thee
Be praise, beatitude, and power
Through all eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S NORTON
O Jesu, Thou the Beauty Art
