373. O Jesus, King Most Wonderful

1 O Jesus, King most wonderful,
O Majesty renowned,
O Conqueror invincible,
In whom all joys are found,

2 When once you visit darkened hearts,
Then truth begins to shine,
Then earthly vanity departs,
Then kindles love divine.

3 O Jesus, Light of all below,
O Fount of life and fire,
Surpassing all the joys we know,
All that we can desire,

4 May ev'ry heart confess your name,
Forever you adore,
Enkindled with the Spirit's flame
To love you more and more.

5 Oh, may our tongues forever bless
And honor you alone,
And may we in our lives express
The image of your own!
