English text

R.: Jesu, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills my breast;
But sweeter far Thy Face to see,
And in Thy Presence rest!

1. O Jesus, light of all below,
Thou fount of living fire,
Surpassing all the joys we know,
And all we can desire.
R.

2. When once Thou visitest the heart,
Then truth begins to shine,
Then earthly vanities depart,
Then kindles love divine.
R.
