Jesu

Hymnal divine name

Jesu is an archaic or poetic form of Jesus, preserved mainly in hymns and religious texts: Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.

The form comes from the Latin vocative case—the grammatical form used when addressing someone directly.

It appears almost exclusively in devotional or musical contexts, lending a formal, reverent tone.
