112. O Jesus! Thou the Beauty Art

1 O Jesus! thou the beauty art
Of angel worlds above;
Thy name is music to the heart
Enchanting it with love.
O Jesus, Savior! hear the sighs
Which unto thee I send,
To thee my inmost spirit cries
My being's hope and end.

2 Stay with us, Lord and with thy light
Illume the soul's abyss;
Scatter the darkness of our night
And fill the world with bliss.
O Jesus, King of earth and heav'n
Our life and joy! to thee
Be honor, thanks and blessing giv'n
Through all eternity.
