    O Jesus, joy of loving hearts,

we seek the peace your love imparts, 
and stand rejoicing in your sight. 

    Adoramus te, Domine.
    We adore you, O Lord. 
For you our restless spirits yearn 
where e'er our changing lot is cast; 
glad when your presence we discern, 
blest,
    when our faith can hold you fast. 
Adoramus te, Domine. 

    O Jesus, ever with us stay; 
make all our moments calm and bright; 
oh, turn the dark of night away, 
shed o'er the world your holy light.
