Original text and translations
Text (or link to a text page) needs to be added. 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 fashion'd With the fire of life impassion'd Striving still to Truth unknown, Soaring, dying, round thy throne
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.
