Jesus, joy of our desiring,
Holy wisdom, love most bright;
Drawn by thee, our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light.
Holy wisdom, love most bright;
Drawn by thee, our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light.
- from an English rendering of v. 1 of Martin Janus' 17th-century hymn (often heard alongside the music of Bach's famous tune inspired by a version of the same hymn, known in English as "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring").
