Hymn 60

Jesus thou joy of loving hearts

Verse 1
Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts!
Thou fount of life! Thou light of men
From the best bliss that earth imparts,
We turn unfill’d to thee again.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
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.
Verse 4
O Jesus, ever with us stay;
Make all our moments calm and bright;
Chase the dark night of sin away,
Shed o’er the world thy holy light.
