KPRI 43 Jesus, The Very Thought of Thee

 

Verse 1

Jesus, the very thought of thee, with sweetness fills my breast;

But sweeter far Thy face to see, and in Thy presence rest.

 

Verse 2

No voice can sing, no heart can frame, nor can the mem’ry find

A sweeter sound than Thy blest name, O Savior of mankind.

 

Verse 3

O hope of every contrite heart, O joy of all the meek,

To those who fall, how kind Thou art! How good to those who seek!

 

Verse 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.

 

Verse 5

Jesus, our only joy be Thou, as Thou our prize wilt be;

Jesus, be Thou our glory now and thro’ eternity.
