Lyrics

O Je­sus, light of all be­low,
Thou fount of life and fire,
Surpassing all the joys we know,
All that we can de­sire.

Refrain

O Je­sus, king most won­der­ful,
Wonderful, won­der­ful,
O Je­sus, king most won­der­ful,
In whom all joys are found.

May ev­ery heart con­fess Thy name,
And ev­er Thee adore;
And seek­ing Thee it­self in­flame,
To seek Thee more and more.

Refrain

Thee may our tongues for­ev­er bless;
Thee may we love alone;
And ev­er in our lives ex­press
The im­age of Thine own.
