Jesus, The Very Thought of Thee
Jesus, The Very Thought of Thee
1. Jesus, the very thought of theeWith sweetness fills my breast,But sweeter far thy face to seeAnd in thy presence rest.
2. Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,Nor can the mem’ry findA sweeter sound than thy blest name,O Savior of mankind!
3. O Hope of ev’ry Contrite heartO 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 thouAs thou our prize wilt be;Jesus, be thou our glory now,And through eternity.
