And, oh, what transport of delight From thy pure chalice floweth. 6 And so through all the length of days Thy goodness faileth never, Good Shepherd! may I sing thy praise Within thy house for ever.

The name "Jesus"

Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: Laudes Domini #408 (1888) Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Jesus!--the very thought is sweet Lyrics: 1 Jesus!--the very thought is sweet; In that dear name all heart-joys meet; But sweeter than sweet honey far The glimpses of his presence are. No word is sung more sweet than this: No name is heard more full of bliss; No thought brings sweeter comfort nigh, Than Jesus, Son of God most high. 2 Jesus, the hope of souls forlorn, How good to them for sin that mourn! To them that seek thee, oh, how kind! But what art thou to them that find? Jesus, thou sweetness, pure, and blest, Truth's fountain, light of souls distressed, Surpassing all that heart requires, Exceeding all that soul desires! 3 No tongue of mortal can express, No letters write, its blessedness: Alone who hath thee in his heart Knows, love of Jesus, what thou art, We follow Jesus now, and raise The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise, That he at last may make us meet With him to gain the heavenly seat.
