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 |
