Description
Piano sheet music intermediate level. A gorgeous melody by JS. Bach, Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring. When a music critic heard Paul play this arrangement live at the Sanderson Centre she said, “One of Tobey’s greatest gifts is his ability to improvise in the same league as J.S. Bach and come out sounding like an equal.” The Expositor News.

Lyrics:
Jesu joy of man’s desiring
Holy wisdom, love most bright
Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light
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
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
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
Theirs is wisdom’s holiest treasure
Thou dost ever lead Thine own
In the love of joys unknown
