Author: Bernard of Clairvaux; Edward Caswall Hymnal: The New Church Hymnal #33 (1976) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of TheeWith 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 findA sweeter sound than Thy blest nameO Savior of mankind!3 O Hope of ev'ry contrite heart,O Joy of all the meek,To those who ask, how kind Thou art!How good to those who seek!4 But what to those who find? Ah! thisNor tongue nor pen can show,The love of Jesus, what it isNone but His loved ones know.Amen. Topics: Christ His love; God The Son; Ancient Hymns; Devotional Languages: English Tune Title: ST.
