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.
