Original text and translations
{{Translation: O Jesus, King most wonderful! O conqueror renown'd! O source of peace ineffable, in whom all joys are found: When once you visit darken'd hearts, then truth begins to shine, then earthly vanity departs, then kindles love divine. O Jesus, light of all below, the font of life and fire! surpassing all the joys we know, all that we can desire. May ev'ry heart confess your name, for ever you adore, and seeking you, itself inflame to seek you more and more! You may our tongues for ever bless, you may we love alone; and ever in our lives express the image of your own! Amen.}}
