Christ in Song ‎#452

452. Joy of Loving Hearts

1 Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts!
Thou fount of life! thou light of men!
From the best bliss that earth imparts,
We turn unfill'd to thee again.

2 We taste thee, O thou Living Bread,
And long to feast upon thee still;
We drink of thee, the Fountainhead,
As thirst our souls from thee to fill.

3 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.

4 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!
