Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring

Jesus all my joy remaineth,
My heart’s solace and my stay
All my wounds to heal he deigneth,
On Him all my need I lay
He’s my heart’s fond hope and treasure,
My soul’s rapture and dearest pleasure
He is with me day and night,
Ever in my heart and sight.
Johann Sebastian
