Текст песни Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, Cantata BWV 147: Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring - Johann Sebastian Bach , Peter White , Choir of St. John's College, Cambridge

Jesus, joy of mad men's desiring
Holy wisdom, love most bright
Drawn by thee, a soul holds thy spying
Soul to uncreated light
Word of God, a flesh that fashioned
With a fire of life impassioned
Striving still into truth unknown
Sorrow 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 death's springs
There's its beauties fairest measure
There's its blisses purest treasure
Thou dost ever with man thine own
In the love of joys unknown
