1 Jesus, Sun of gladness,
Fountain Thou of grace;
Cure for ev'ry sadness,
Turn to me Thy face;
Look in mercy tender
On Thy child today,
Help and comfort render,
Be my staff and stay.
2 Purge me, O my Savior,
In Thy precious blood;
Teach me true behavior,
O my highest Good;
Ev'ry day and hour
Grant me faith to see,
Lord, the cleansing power
Of Thy death for me.
3 Lord, my sole desire
Is to serve Thee well,
Help me to aspire
E'er with Thee to dwell.
Joyous praise be given
To Thy name, O Lord,
Who art both in heaven
And on earth adored.
Amen.
