Jesus, the Joy of Loving Hearts(Tune Maryton)

 

1. Jesus, the Joy joy of loving hearts,
Thou source of life, and light of men,
From the best bliss that earth imparts,
We turn unfilled to Thee again.

2. Your truth unchanged has ever stood;
You rescue those who on you call;
To those yet seeking, you are good,
To those who find you, all in all.

3. We taste of you, the living Bread,
And long to feast upon you still;
We drink from you, the Fountain-head,
Our thirsty souls from you we fill.

4. Our restless spirits long for you,
Wherever way our lot be cast;
Glad when your gracious smile we view,
Blessed when our faith can hold you fast.

5. Jesus, forever with us stay,
Make all our moments calm and bright;
Chase the dark night of sin away;
Shed through the world your holy light.
