O Jesu! 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 Jesu! Light of all below!
thou Fount of life and fire!
Surpassing all the joys we know,
And all we can desire.

May ev'ry heart confess Thy name,
And ever Thee adore,
And seeking Thee, itself infame
to seek thee more and more.

Thee may our tongues for ever bless;
Thee may we love alone;
And ever in our lives express
The image of Thine own.

Abide with us and let thy light
Shine, Lord, on ev'ry heart;
Dispel the darkness of our night,
And joy to all impart.

Jesu, our love and joy, to thee,
The Father's holy Son,
All might and praise and glory be,
While endless ages run.
