Jesus! The Very Thought Is Sweet;
In That Dear Name All Heart-Joys Meet;
But Sweeter Than The Honey Far
The Glimpses Of His Presence Are.
No Word Is Sung More Sweet Than This;
No Name Is Heard More Full Of Bliss;
No Thought Brings Sweeter Comfort Nigh,
Than Jesus, Son Of God, Most High.
Jesus, The Hope Of Souls Forlorn!
How Good To Them For Sin That Mourn;
To Them That Seek Thee, O How Kind!
But What Art Thou To Them That Find?
No Tongue Of Mortal Can Express,
No Letters Write Its Blessedness;
Alone, Who Hath Thee In His Heart,
Knows, Love Of Jesus, What Thou Art.
