Jesu, joy of man's desiring
Holy wisdom, lo-ove mo-ost bright
Drawn by thee, our souls aspiring
Soar to uncrea-ate-ed light
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned
With the fire of li-ife impassioned
Striving still to truth unknown
Soaring, dying arou-ound thy throne
Through the way where hope is guiding
Hark, what peaceful mu-usi-ic rings
Where the flock, in thee confiding
Drink of joy from dea-eathle-ess springs
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure
Theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure
Thou dost ever lead thine own
In the love of jo-oys unknown
