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 Thy blest name,

    O 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;

    Jesus, be Thou our glory now

    And through eternity.
