1 O Jesus, King most wonderful,
thou Conqueror renowned,
thou sweetness most ineffable,
in whom all joys are found,

2 when once thou visitest the heart,
then truth begins to shine,
then earthly vanities depart,
then kindles love divine.

3 May ev'ry heart confess thy name,
and ever thee adore,
and, seeking thee, itself inflame
to seek thee more and more.

4 Thee may our tongues forever bless,
thee may we love alone,
and ever in our lives express
the image of thine own.
