O Jesus, King Most Wonderful

(ST. PETER. 8.6.8.6)
1.

O Jesus, King most wonderful,
O Majesty renowned,
O Conqueror invincible,
in whom all joys are found.

2.

When once you visit darkened hearts,
then truth begins to shine,
then earthly vanity departs,
then kindles love divine.

3.

O Jesus, light of all below,
O Fount of life and fire,
surpassing all the joys we know,
all that we can desire,

4.

May ev'ry heart confess your name,
forever you adore,
enkindled with the Spirit's flame
to love you more and more.

5.

Oh, may our tongues forever bless
and honor you alone,
and may we in our lives express
the image of your own!
