O Jesus, You are the beauty
Of Angel worlds above!
Your Name is music to the heart,
Enchanting it with love!
Celestial sweetness pure and complete!
Who eat Your hunger still,
Who drink of You still feel a void
Which none but You can fill!
O my sweet Jesus! hear the sighs
Which I send to You!
To You my spirit cries,
My being's hope and end!
Stay with us, Lord, and with Your light
Illuminate my soul;
Scatter the darkness of our night
And fill the world with bliss.
O Jesus spotless Virgin flower!
Our life and joy! to You
Be praise, blessings and power,
Through all eternity!
Amen.
