Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153; Edward Caswall 1814-1878 Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #46 (1977) First Line: Jesus! the very tho't of Thee Lyrics: 1 Jesus! the very tho't of Thee
With sweetness fills my breast;
But better far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.
2 No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
Nor can the mem'ry find
A sweeter sound than Thy blest name,
O Saviour of mankind!
3 O hope of ev'ry 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 Saviour, our only joy be Thou,
As Thou our crown shalt be;
Be Thou, O Lord, our glory now,
And thro' eternity. Topics: Opening Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AGNES
