241- Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee

Jesus Christ: Glory and Praise

1

  • Jesus, the very thought of Thee,
  • With sweetness fills my breast;
  • But sweeter far Thy face to see,
  • And in Thy presence rest.

2

  • No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
  • Nor can the memory find
  • A sweeter sound than Jesus' name,
  • The Savior of mankind.

3

  • O hope of every 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;
  • In Thee be all our glory now,
  • And through eternity.
