Lyrics
Jesu' joy of man's desiring
Thou whose love shines down like a guiding light
Drawn to Thee with souls aspiring
Through our Father we reach a celestial height
Son of God we pray we may reach Thee
May we live in peace we beseech Thee
Open doors of truth unknown
As Thy love comes down from the heavenly throne
Teach us from Thy heavenly throne
Open doors of truth unknown
As Thy love comes down from the heavenly throne
Written by:
Johann Sebastian Bach
