Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153; Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Hymnal: One in Faith #939 (2015) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of you
Fills us with sweet delight;
But sweeter far your face to view
And rest within your light.
2 No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
Nor can the mind recall
A sweeter sound than your blest name,
O Savior of us all!
3 O hope of ev'ry humble soul,
O joy of all the meek,
How kind you are to those who fall,
How good to those who seek!
4 O Jesus, be our joy today;
Help us to prize your love;
Grant us at last to hear you say:
"Come, share my home above."
