Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153; Edward Caswall, 1814-78 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #554 (2006) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 146:10 First Line: O Jesus, King most wonderful! Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, King most wonderful!
O Conqueror renowned!
O Source of peace ineffable,
In whom all joys are found:
2 When once You visit darkened hearts,
Then truth begins to shine,
Then earthly vanity departs,
Then kindles love divine.
3 O Jesus, light of all below,
The fount of life and fire,
Surpassing all the joys we know,
All that we can desire:
4 May ev'ry heart confess Your name,
Forever You adore,
And, seeking You, itself inflame
To seek You more and more!
5 Oh, may our tongues forever bless,
May we love You alone
And ever in our lives express
The image of Your own!
