An Early Christian Hedonist?

I wonder if Saint Bernard of Clairvaux was an early Christian Hedonist. For he wrote(mid-twelfth century):

Jesus, thou Joy of loving hearts,
Thou Fount of life, thou Light of men,
From the best bliss that earth imparts
We turn unfilled to thee again.
We taste thee, O thou living Bread,
And long to feast upon thee still;
We drink of thee, the Fountainhead,
And thirst our souls from thee to fill.
