Author: Bernard of Clairvaux; Edward Caswall Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #102 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Chalice Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of thee
with sweetness fills my breast;
but sweeter far thy face to see,
and in thy presence rest.
2 No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
nor can the mind recall
a sweeter sound than thy blest name,
O Savior of us all.
3 O hope of every contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek,
to those who ask, 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 through eternity. Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Praise to Christ; Jesus Christ; Joy; Rest; Hope Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AGNES
