Jesus, The Very Thought of Thee (KRI 28)

KRI 28 Jesus, The Very Thought of Thee

John B. Dykes

Bernard of Clairvaux

1=G 3/4

Versi Version 1

Jesus, the very thought of thee,

with sweetness fills my heart;

But sweeter far Thy face to see,

and in Thy presence rest.

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!

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!

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.

Jesus, our only joy be Thou,

as Thou our prize wilt be;

Jesus, be Thou our glory now,

and through eternity.
