Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts
"I am that Bread of Life." - John 6:48
VERSE 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.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 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.
