Lyrics
O thou, my soul, forget no more
The Friend Who all thy misery bore;
Let every idol be forgot,
But, O my soul, forget Him not.
O Jesus joy of loving hearts
Thou fount of life, thou light of all,
From the best thought that earth imparts
We turn unfilled to heed thy call.
Thou fount of life, thou light of all,
From the best thought that earth imparts
We turn unfilled to heed thy call.
Forget us not, we pray.
