|
<p>Jesus, the very thought of Thee<br>
|
|
With sweetness fills the breast;<br>
|
|
But sweeter far Thy face to see,<br>
|
|
And in Thy presence rest.</p>
|
|
<p>Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,<br>
|
|
Nor can the memory find<br>
|
|
A sweeter sound than Thy blessed Name,<br>
|
|
O Savior of mankind!</p>
|
|
<p>O hope of every contrite heart,<br>
|
|
O joy of all the meek,<br>
|
|
To those who fall, how kind Thou art!<br>
|
|
How good to those who seek!</p>
|
|
<p>But what to those who find? Ah, this<br>
|
|
Nor tongue nor pen can show;<br>
|
|
The love of Jesus, what it is,<br>
|
|
None but His loved ones know.</p>
|
|
<p>Jesus, our only joy be Thou,<br>
|
|
As Thou our prize will be;<br>
|
|
Jesus be Thou our glory now,<br>
|
|
And through eternity.</p>
|
|
<p>O Jesus, King most wonderful<br>
|
|
Thou Conqueror renowned,<br>
|
|
Thou sweetness most ineffable<br>
|
|
In Whom all joys are found!</p>
|
|
<p>When once Thou visitest the heart,<br>
|
|
Then truth begins to shine,<br>
|
|
Then earthly vanities depart,<br>
|
|
Then kindles love divine.</p>
|
|
<p>O Jesus, light of all below,<br>
|
|
Thou fount of living fire,<br>
|
|
Surpassing all the joys we know,<br>
|
|
And all we can desire.</p>
|
|
<p>Jesus, may all confess Thy name,<br>
|
|
Thy wondrous love adore,<br>
|
|
And, seeking Thee, themselves inflame<br>
|
|
To seek Thee more and more.</p>
|
|
<p>Thee, Jesus, may our voices bless,<br>
|
|
Thee may we love alone,<br>
|
|
And ever in our lives express<br>
|
|
The image of Thine own.</p>
|
|
<p>O Jesus, Thou the beauty art<br>
|
|
Of angel worlds above;<br>
|
|
Thy Name is music to the heart,<br>
|
|
Inflaming it with love.</p>
|
|
<p>O most sweet Jesus, hear the sighs<br>
|
|
Which unto Thee we send;<br>
|
|
To Thee our inmost spirit cries;<br>
|
|
To Thee our prayers ascend.</p>
|
|
<p>Abide with us, and let Thy light<br>
|
|
Shine, Lord, on every heart;<br>
|
|
Dispel the darkness of our night;<br>
|
|
And joy to all impart.</p>
|
|
<p>Jesus, our love and joy to Thee,<br>
|
|
The virgin’s holy Son,<br>
|
|
All might and praise and glory be,<br>
|
|
While endless ages run.</p>
