O Jesus, King most wonderful,
Thou Conqueror renowned,
Thou Sweetness most ineffable,
In Whom all joys are found!
When once Thou visitest the heart,
Then truth begins to shine,
Then earthly vanities depart,
Then kindles love divine.
O Jesus, Light of all below,
Thou Fount of life and fire,
Surpassing all the joys we know,
And all we can desire!
Thy wondrous mercies are untold,
Through each returning day;
Thy love exceeds a thousand fold,
Whatever we can say.
May every heart confess Thy Name;
And ever Thee adore;
And seeking Thee, itself inflame,
To seek Thee more and more.
Thee may our tongues forever bless;
Thee may we love alone;
And ever in our lives express
The image of Thine own.
Stay with us, Lord, and with Thy light
Illume the soul’s abyss;
Scatter the darkness of our night,
And fill the world with bliss.
Jesus, our Love and Joy, to Thee,
The Father’s holy Son,
All might, and praise, and glory be,
While endless ages run.
---Alternative verses---
Jesus, may all confess Thy name,
Thy wondrous love adore;
And, seeking Thee, themselves inflame
To seek more and more.
Abide with us, and let Thy light
Shine, Lord, on every heart;
Dispel the darkness of the night,
And joy to all impart.
