Jesus, the very thought of thee
Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,024 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:28 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 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
nor can the memory find
a sweeter sound than thy blest name,
Saviour of humankind!
3 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!
4 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.
5 Jesus, our only joy be thou,
as thou our prize wilt be;
Jesus, be thou our glory now,
and through eternity. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Devotion; Adoration Of Jesus; Jesus love of all; Longing Used With Tune: ST. AGNES (DYKES) Text Sources: Probably 12th century; Lyra Catholica, 1849

The fount of life and our true light,

And long to feast upon you still;
We drink of you, the fountain-head,
Our thirsting souls to quench and fill.
3 For you our restless spirits yearn
Where'er our changing lot is cast;
Glad, when your presence we discern,
Blest, when our faith can hold you fast.
4 O Jesus, ever with us stay;
Make all our moments calm and bright;
O chase the night of sin away,
Shed over the world your holy light. Topics: Sacred Heart; Eucharist; Comfort; Faith; Food; Jesus Christ; Joy; Life; Light; Peace; Petition; Presence of God Used With Tune: WAREHAM

Thou Hidden Love of God
Author: John Wesley (1703-1791); Gerhard Tersteegen (1697-1769) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 265 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 First Line: Thou hidden love of God, whose height Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden love of God, whose height,
whose depth unfathomed, no one knows,
I see from far thy beauteous light,
inly I sigh for thy repose;
my heart is pained, nor can it be
at rest till it finds rest in thee.
2 Thy secret voice invites me still
the sweetness of thy yoke to prove;
and fain I would; but, though my will
seem fixed, yet wide my passions rove;
yet hindrances strew all the way;
I aim at thee, yet from thee stray.
3 'Tis mercy all, that thou hast brought
my mind to seek its peace in thee;
yet, while I seek but find thee not,
no peace my wandering soul shall see.
Oh, when shall all my wanderings end,
and all my steps to thee-ward tend?
4 Is there a thing beneath the sun
that strives with thee my heart to share?
Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,
the Lord of every motion there;
then shall my heart from earth be free,
when it hath found repose in thee. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in adoration and gratitude; God Love of; Longing Used With Tune: ST. PETERSBURG

draw me, my Savior, so precious thou art.
Fold me, O fold me close to thy breast;
shelter me safe in that haven of rest,
shelter me safe in that haven of rest.
2 Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring,
naught as an offering to Jesus, my King–
only my sinful, now contrite heart;
grant me the cleansing thy blood doth impart,
grant me the cleansing thy blood doth impart.
3 Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be thine,
sin with its follies I gladly resign,
all of its pleasures, pomp and its pride;
give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified,
give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified.

till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
through endless ages, ever to be
nearer, my Savior, still nearer to thee,
nearer, my Savior, still nearer to thee. Topics: Jesus Christ Blood of; Jesus Christ Savior; Elements of Worship Confession Used With Tune: STILL NEARER
