Jesus, The Very Thought of Thee
Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, 1090-1153; E. Caswall, 1814-78 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #315 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of thee
With sweetness fills the breast;
But sweeter far Thy face to see
And in Thy presence rest.
2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
Nor can the mem'ry find
A sweeter sound than Thy blest name,
O Savior 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 But what to those who find? Ah! this
Nor tongue nor pen can show;
The love of Jesus, what it is,
None but His loved ones know.
5 Jesus, our only Joy be Thou
As Thou our Prize wilt be;
Jesus, be Thou our Glory now
And through eternity.
