O Jesus, king most wonderful
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another" I John. 1:7
O Jesus, king most wonderful,
Thou conqueror renowned,
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,
