Oh, most sweet Jesu, Saviour blest,

My yearning spirit's hope and rest,

To thee mine inmost nature cries,

And seeks thy face with tears and sighs.

Thou, my heart's joy where'er I rove,

Thou art the perfecting of love;

Thou art my boast—all praise be thine,

Jesu, the world's salvation, mine!

Then his embrace, his holy kiss,
