Refrain: Precious, gentle, holy Jesus! Blessed Bridegroom of my heart, In thy secret inner chamber, Thou wilt whisper what Thou art. 2 And within those heav'nly places, Calmly hushed in sweet repose, There I drink with joy absorbing, All the love Thou wouldst disclose. [Refrain] 3 Wrapt in deep, adoring silence, Jesus, Lord, I dare not move, Lest I lose the smallest saying Meant to catch the ear of love. [Refrain] 4 Rest, then, O my soul, contented, Thou hast reached thy happy place, In the bosom of thy Saviour, Gazing up in his dear face.
