HYMN 61.
Jesu, the very thought of Thee,
With sweetness fills the breast;
But sweeter far, Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.
Tongue never spake, ear never heard,
Never from heart o'erflow'd,
A dearer Name, a sweeter Word,
Than Jesus, Son of God.
O hope of ev'ry contrite heart!
To penitents how kind!
To those who seek how good Thou art;
But what to those who find;
Jesu, our only joy be Thou,
As Thou our prize wilt be;
Jesu, be Thou our glory now,
And through eternity.
