Words: attr. Bernard of Clairvaux (ca. 1091-1153);
Music: John B. Dykes (1823-1876), arr. Katy Francom (cont.)
Jesus, the very thought of thee with sweetness fills the breast; but sweeter far thy face to see, and in thy presence rest. W 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! W 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. W Jesus, our only joy be thou, as thou our prize wilt be; Jesus, be thou our glory now, and through eternity.
