Lord Jesus Christ,
the thought of Thee
With sweetness fills my breast:
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.
Nor voice can sing,
nor heart can frame,
Nor can the mem’ry find
A sweeter sound than
Thy blest Name,
O Saviour 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.
Saviour, our only joy be Thou,
As Thou our crown wilt be;
Be Thou, O Lord, our glory now,
And through eternity.
