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

    General Comment:This is one of my favorite Christmas songs.

    Well, actually, it's not really a christmas song, is it. But it's sort of a christmas song, since it's usually played around Christmas. And that's good enoguh for me...

    Ooh, I love Bach.

    General Comment:I think its originally from the genius, Johann Sebastian Bach. Nothing less than praising the greatness of GOD.
