Song information

Artist: Josh Groban
Album: Josh Groban In Concert

Lyrics

Jesu, joy of man's desiring
Holy wisdom, love most bright

Drawn by thee, our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light

Word of god, our flesh that fashioned
With the fire of life impassioned
Striving still to truth unknown
Soaring, dying round thy throne

Notes: originally by johann sabastian bach
The original song continues with these words:
Through the way where hope is guiding
Hark, what peaceful music rings
Where the flock, in thee confiding
Drink of joy from deathless springs
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure
Theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure
Thou dost ever lead thine own
In the love of joys unknown
