Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring Holy wisdom, love most bright

Drawn by Thee our souls aspiring Soar to uncreated light

Word of God, our flesh that fashioned. With the fire of life impassioned. Striving still to truth unknown Soaring, dying round Thy throne.

Through the way where hope is guiding, Hark, what peaceful music rings.

Where the flock in Thee confiding, Drink of joy from deathless springs.

Theirs is beauty’s fairest pleasure, Theirs is wisdom’s holiest treasure. Thou dost ever lead Thine own, In the love of joys unknown.
