Jesu, Rex admirabilis.
O JESUS, King most wonderful,
Thou Conqueror renowned,
Thou sweetness most ineffable,
In whom all joys are found;
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.
Then truth begins to shine,
Then earthly vanities depart.
Then kindles love divine.
Jesus, Light of all below,
Thou Fount of living fire.
Surpassing all the joys we know,
And all we can desire;
Thou Fount of living 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.
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.
Thee may we love alone.
And ever in our lives express
The image of thine own.
