Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153; Ray Palmer, 1808-1887 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 553 hymnals Topics: Aspiriaton Lyrics: 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. 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. 3 We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread, And long to feast upon Thee still; We drink of Thee, the Fountain head, And thirst our souls from Thee to fill. 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. 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.

Grace for my weakness impart." 4 Into the joy of Jesus Deeper and deeper I go, Rising, with soul enraptured, Far from the world below; Joy in the place of sorrow, Peace in the midst of pain, Jesus will give, Jesus will give - He will uphold and sustain. 5 Into the love of Jesus Deeper and deeper I go, Praising the One who brought me Out of my sin and woe; And thru eternal ages Gratefully I shall sing, "O how He loved! O how He loved! Jesus, my Lord and my King!" Used With Tune: [Into the heart of Jesus]
