Cantata, BWV 147, Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring by Bach


Joy Of Man's Desiring

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.



Cantata, BWV 147, Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring by Bach
