Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee Words: Latin Hymn, 12th Century; tr. Edward Caswall Music by John B. Dykes Words and Music public domain 173
Jesus, the very thought of TheeWith sweetness fills my breastBut sweeter far Thy face to seeAnd in Thy presence rest
No voice can sing, no heart can frameNor can the mem’ry findA sweeter sound than Jesus’ nameO Savior of mankind
O Hope of ev’ry contrite heartO Joy of all the meekTo those who fall, how kind Thou artHow good to those who seek
But what to those who find? ah! thisNo tongue or pen can showThe love of Jesus, what it isNone but His loved ones know
