Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee
Jesus, the very 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 ev’ry 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.
—Bernard of Clairvaux
A beautiful song to Jesus, our Savior, Friend, Heavenly Father, God Almighty, to Him be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen and Amen!
…Ellen, I hope that today will be a wonderful day for you.
Such a comforting thought to know that Jesus will never change!!
