- 1O 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.
- 2Thee may our tongues for ever bless;Thee may we love alone:And ever in our lives expressThe image of Thine own.May ev‘ry heart confess Thy Name,And ever Thee adore;And, seeking Thee, itself in flameAnd seek Thee more and more.
