English Version
- Jesus, the very thought of Thee
- With sweetness fills the breast!
- Yet sweeter far Thy face to see
- And in Thy Presence rest.
- No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
- Nor can the memory find,
- A sweeter sound than Jesus' Name,
- The Saviour of mankind.
- 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!
- 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.
- Jesus! our only hope be Thou,
- As Thou our prize shalt be;
- In Thee be all our glory now,
- And through eternity. Amen.

Famous quotes containing the words english and/or version:
“The boneless quality of English conversation, which, so far as I have heard it, is all form and no content. Listening to Britons dining out is like watching people play first-class tennis with imaginary balls.”
—Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
