Representative Text

1 Jesus, sweet Jesus, my treasure divine,
Oh! with what rapture I call Thou all mine;
Brilliant, celestial, my glory, my sun,
Oh! that I loved Thee, Thou beautiful One!
Fountain of sweetness, Abyss of delight,
Robed in thy splendor, immortal and bright,
Thou God of my heart! Oh! when shall I flee
Away from my prison to love only Thee,
Away from my prison to love only Thee.

2 Jesus, my Jesus, so priceless is worth,
Joy of the angels and hope of the earth;
Strong are the links and the bonds which confine
My heart and my soul to Thee, Jesus all mine.
Fountain of sweetness, Abyss of delight,
Robed in thy splendor, immortal and bright,
Thou God of my heart! Oh! when shall I flee
Away from my prison to love only Thee,
Away from my prison to love only Thee.
