Author: Edward Caswall; Bernard of Clairvaux, 1901-1153 Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #115 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 life and fire!
Surpassing all the joys we know,
All that we can desire,--
4 May every heart confess Thy name,
And ever Thee adore;
And, seeking Thee, itself inflame
To seek Thee more and more.
5 Thee may our tongues forever bless;
Thee may we love alone;
And ever in our life express
The image of Thine own.
Amen. Topics: Christ King; Christ Praise to; Christ Preciousness of; Praise To Christ Languages: English Tune Title: GROTON
