Hymn 514 – JESUS, the very thought of Thee | C&S English Hymnary

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. Tongue never spake, ear never heard Never from heart o’erflow'd A dearer name, a sweeter word Than Jesus, Son of God. 3. O hope of every contrite heart To penitents how kind To those who seek how good Thine art But what to those who find? 4. Ah, this no tongues can utter, this No mortal page can show The love of Jesus, what it is None but His loved one knows. 5. Jesus, our only joy be Thou As Thou our prize wilt be; Jesus, be Thou our glory now, And through eternity AMEN
