HYMN

Jesu Rex Admirabilis

O jesus! king most wonderful!

Thou Conqueror renowned!

Thou sweetness most ineffable!

In Whom all joys are found!

When once Thou visitest the heart,

Then truth begins to shine;

Then earthly vanities depart,

Then kindles love divine.

O Jesus! light of all below!

Thou fount of life and fire!

Surpassing all the joys we know,

All that we can desire.

May every heart confess, Thy name,

And ever Thee adore;

And seeking Thee, itself inflame

To seek Thee more and more.
