Jesu joy of man's desiring
ย
Holy wisdom, love most bright
ย
Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring
ย
Soar to uncreated light
ย
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned
ย
With the fire of life impassioned
Striving still to truth unknown
ย
Soaring, dying round Thy throne
ย
Through the way where hope is guiding
Hark, what peaceful music rings
Where the flock in Thee confiding
Drink of joy from deathless springs
ย
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure
Theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure
Thou dost ever lead Thine own
ย
In the love of joys unknown
