Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring |
| Jesu, joy of man’s desiring |
| Holy wisdom, love most bright |
| Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring |
| Soar to uncreated light |
| Word of God, our flesh that fashioned |
| With the fire of life impassioned |
| Striving still to truth unknown |
| Soaring, dying round Thy throne |
| Notes: Originally by Johann Sabastian Bach |
| The original song continues with these words: |
| Through the way where hope is guiding |
| Hark, what peaceful music rings |
| Where the flock, in Thee confiding |
| Drink of joy from deathless springs |
| Theirs is beauty’s fairest pleasure |
| Theirs is wisdom’s holiest treasure |
| Thou dost ever lead Thine own |
| In the love of joys unknown |
