205--Jesus, Thou Joy of loving hearts,

Jesus, Thou Joy of loving hearts,

205

	1.	Jesus, Thou Joy of loving hearts,
		Thou Fount of life, Thou Light of men,
		>From the best bliss that earth imparts,
		We turn unfilled to Thee again.
	2.	Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood;
		Thou savest those that on Thee call;
		To them that seek Thee, Thou art good,
		To them that find Thee, all in all!
	3.	We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread,
		And long to feast upon Thee still;
		We drink of Thee, the Fountain-head,
		And thirst our souls from Thee to fill!
	4.	Our restless spirits yearn for Thee,
		Where'er our changeful lot is cast;
		Glad when Thy gracious smile we see,
		Blest, when our faith can hold Thee fast.
	5.	O Lord, be Thou our strength and stay!
		Make all our moments calm and bright,
		Chase all dark thoughts of sin away,
		Shed o'er us here Thy holy light.
