thou Conqueror renowned,
thou sweetness most ineffable,
in whom all joys are found!
2 When once thou visitest the heart,
then truth begins to shine,
then earthly vanities depart,
then kindles love divine.
3 Thee, Jesu, may our voices bless,
thee may we love alone,
and ever in our lives express
the image of thine own.
4 Abide with us, and let thy light
shine, Lord, on every heart;
dispel the darkness of our night,
and joy to all impart.
5 Jesu, our love and joy, to thee,
the Virgin's only Son,
all might and praise and glory be,
while endless ages run. Topics: Proper 11 Year C Used With Tune: ST AGNES (DYKES) Text Sources: Latin, c. 12th century
