Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring
(Adapted from: Jesu Bleibet Meine Freude - 1723)
Composer(s): Johann Sebastian Bach
Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring
Holy wisdom, love most bright
Drawn by Thee our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned
With the fire of life impassioned
Striving still to truth unknown
Soaring, dying round Thy throne
Through the way where hope is guiding
Hark, what peaceful music rings
Where the flock in Thee confiding
Drink of joy from deathless springs
Theirs is beautys fairest pleasure
Theirs is wisdoms holiest treasure
Thou dost ever lead Thine own
In the love of joys unknown
