Hymn 423
O Jesus, King most wonderful
1 O Jesus, King most wonderful;
thou conqueror renowned,
thou sweetness most ineffable,
in whom all joys are found!
2 When once thou visitest the heart,
then truth begins to shine,
then earthly vanities depart,
then kindles love divine.
3 O Jesus, light of all below!
Thou fount of living fire,
surpassing all the joys we know,
and all we can desire:
4 May every heart confess thy name,
And ever Thee adore;
and, seeking thee, itself inflame
to seek thee more and more.
5 Thee may our tongues for ever bless,
thee may we love alone,
and ever in our lives express
the image of thine own.
