O Jesus, King most wonderful,
Thou conqueror renown'd;
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; -
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 for ever bless;
Thee, may we love alone;
And ever in our lives express
The image of Thine own.
