Author: Edward Caswall; Bernard of Clairvaux Hymnal: Praise and Worship #12 (1951) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills my breast;
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence dwell.
2 No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
Nor can the mem'ry find
A sweeter sound than Thy blest name,
O Saviour of mankind!
3 O Hope of ev'ry contrite heart,
O Joy of all the meek,
To those who fall, how kind Thou art!
How good to those who seek!
4 Jesus, our only joy be Thou,
As Thou our prize witlt be;
Jesus, be Thou our glory now,
And thro' eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: [Jesus, the very thought of Thee]
