Lyrics
Jesus, joy of man's desiring, holy wisdom, love most bright
Drawn by thee, our souls aspiring, soul to uncreated light
Well of knowl- of blessed passion with the fire of wild impassion
Striving still toward the unknown, soaring, dying, and life long!
Through the way where hope is guiding, heart of
Peace, whom beauty quings, where the flock with
Thee confiding, drink of joy from deathless springs
That is beauty's endless pleasure, that is wisdom's oldest treasure
Thou must ever be with thine own in the home of joy's above
