With sweetness fills my breast:
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.
2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
Nor can the mem'ry find
A sweeter sound than Thy blest Name,
O Savior of mankind!
3 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!
4 Jesus, our only Joy be Thou!
As Thou our prize wilt be;
Jesus, be Thou our glory now,
And thro' eternity. Topics: Spiritual Songs Jesus Christ Languages: English Tune Title: [Jesus! the very thought of Thee]
