Jesus, Thou joy of loving hearts...

Jesus, Thou joy of loving hearts,
Thou fount of life, Thou Light of men,
From the best bliss that earth imparts
We turn unfilled to Thee again.
 
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.
 
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.
-Bernard of Clairvaux
