Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, ca. 1091-1153; Ray Palmer, 1808-1887 Hymnal: Journeysongs (3rd ed.) #563 (2012) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Rites of the Church Exposition of the Holy Eucharist (Including Benediction) Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, joy of loving hearts,
The fount of life and our true light,
We seek the peace your love imparts
And stand rejoicing in your sight.
2 Your truth unchanged has ever stood;
You save all those who heed your call;
To those who seek you, you are good,
To those who find you-- all in all.
3 We taste you, Lord, our living bread,
And long to feast upon you still;
We drink of you, the fountainhead,
Our thirsty souls to quench and fill.
4 For you our restless spirits yearn
Where'er our changing lot is cast;
Glad, when your presence we discern,
Blest, when our faith can hold you fast.
5 O Jesus, ever with us stay;
Make all our moments calm and bright;
Oh, chase the night of sin away,
Shed o'er the world your holy light. Languages: English Tune Title: JESU, DULCIS MEMORIA
O Jesus, Joy of Loving Hearts
