\nJesus, the very thought of thee
\nwith sweetness fills the breast;
\nbut sweeter far thy face to see,
\nand in thy presence rest.<\/p>\n
2
\nNo voice can sing, no heart can frame,
\nNor can the memory find
\nA sweeter sound than Jesus’ name,
\nThe Savior of mankind.<\/p>\n
3
\nO hope of every contrite heart!
\nO joy of all the meek,
\nto those who fall, how kind thou art!
\nHow good to those who seek!<\/p>\n
4
\nBut what to those who find? Ah, this
\nnor tongue nor pen can show;
\nthe love of Jesus, what it is,
\nnone but his loved ones know.<\/p>\n
5
\nJesus, our only joy be thou,
\nas thou our prize wilt be;
\nJesus, be thou our glory now,
\nand through eternity.<\/p>\n
