Jesu Sweet

Jesu Sweet, now will I sing

To Thee a song of love longing;

Do in my heart a quick well spring

Thee to love above all thing.

Jesu Sweet, my dim heart's gleam

Brighter than the sunnèbeam!

As thou wert born in Bethlehem

Make in me thy lovèdream.

Jesu Sweet, my dark heart's light

Thou art day withouten night;

Give me strength and eke might

For to loven Thee aright.

Jesu Sweet, well may he be

That in Thy bliss Thyself shall see:

With love cords then draw Thou me

That I may come and dwell with Thee.
