  1. Jesus, the very thought of thee
    With sweetness fills the 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 find,
    A sweeter sound than Jesus' Name,
    The Saviour of mankind.

  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!

  4. But what to those who find? Ah, this
    Nor tongue nor pen can show;
    The love of Jesus, what it is,
    None but who love him know.

  5. Jesus, our only joy be Thou,
    As Thou our prize wilt be;
    In Thee be all our glory now,
    And through eternity. Amen.
