Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring lyrics

Josh Groban See albums and popular songs

Jesu, 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

Notes: Originally by Johann Sabastian Bach

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
