Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153; Edward Caswall Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #73 (1974) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O Jesus, King most wonderful! Lyrics:
1 O Jesus, King most wonderful!
Thou Conqueror renowned!
Thou Sweetness most ineffable,
In Whom all joys are found!
2 When once Thou visitest the heart,
Then truth begins to shine,
Then earthly vanities depart,
Then kindles love divine.
3 O Jesus! Light of all below,
Thou Fount of living fire,
Surpassing all the joys we know,
All that we can desire.
4 Thy wondrous mercies are untold
Thro' each returning day;
Thy love exceeds a thousand-fold
Whatever we can say.
5 Thee may our tongues forever bless;
Thee may we love alone;
And ever in our lives express
The image of Thine own.
