from Wedding Music Samples Album by Wedding Music Project
about
Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by J.S.Bach is offered here as a short wedding music sample to help with wedding music planning. Originally written for choir and orchestra, Jesu Joy Of Man's Desiring is here presented as an instrumental piece. It is generally played as a thoughtful, reflective piece, though Bach's original vision and arrangement of the tune was perhaps slightly more energetic with the choral accompaniment.

lyrics
Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring - J.S.Bach lyrics: these are the lyrics you are most likely to hear when listening to an English version of Jesu:
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 where hope is guiding,
Hark, what peaceful music rings;
Where the flock, in Thee confiding,
Drink 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
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 where hope is guiding,
Hark, what peaceful music rings;
Where the flock, in Thee confiding,
Drink 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
