Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring | CHORALE of the week

According to Wikipedia, "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring is the most common English title of a piece of music derived from the 10th and last movement of the cantata Herz und Mund unt Tat und Leben, BWV 147 ("Heart and Mouth and Deed and Life"), composed by Johann Sebastian Bach in 1716 and 1723." The basic melody for this chorale was written by Johann Schop. Johann Sebastian Bach harmonized and orchestrated it. The words below are not the original words Bach used. Written by the poet Robert Bridges, they are the most commonly-heard English words associated with this piece.

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.

Through the way were hope is guiding,
Hark, what peaceful music rings;
Where the flock, in Thee confiding,
Drinking of joy from deathless springs.

Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure;
Theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure.
Thou dost ever lead Thine own
In the love of joys unknown.

"Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory"

1 Peter 1:8
