Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Jesu, joy of man's desiring

Holy wisdom, love most bright

[Verse 2]

Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring

Soar to uncreated light

[Verse 3]

Word of God, our flesh that fashioned

With the fire of life impassioned

Striving still to truth unknown

Soaring, dying round Thy throne

[Verse 4]

Through the way where hope is guiding

Hark, what peaceful music rings

[Verse 5]

Where the flock, in Thee confiding

Drink of joy from deathless springs

[Verse 6]

Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure

Theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure

Thou dost ever lead Thine own

In the love of joys unknown

Written by: Johann Sebastian Bach
