Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring
Jesus, joy of man's 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 The original song continues with these words: 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 beauty's fairest pleasure Theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure Thou dost ever lead Thine own In the love of joys unknown) Aus Songtexte Mania
