O Jesus, joy of loving hearts, the fount of life and our true light, 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. Adoramus te, Domine.

Scripture
Lesson: John 17:13-17 (Jesus prayed) "But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Your Word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth."
