O Jesus, King Most Wonderful

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!

Thy won­drous mer­cies are un­told

Through each re­turn­ing day;

Thy love ex­ceeds a thou­sand fold

Whatever we can say.

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 for­ev­er bless;

Thee may we love alone;

And ev­er in our lives ex­press

The im­age of Thine own.
