Lyics

O Jesus! King most wonderful!

Thou Conqueror renowned!

Thou Sweetness most ineffable!

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.



Thee may our tongues forever bless,

Thee may we love along;

And ever in our lives express

The image of thine own.
