Jesus The Very Thought of Thee Lyrics

Bernard of Clairvaux

Latin Hymn, 12th Century


Verse 1

Jesus, the very thought of Thee

With sweetness fills the breast;

But sweeter far Thy face to see,

And in Thy presence rest.


Verse 2

Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,

Nor can the memory find

A sweeter sound than Thy blest Name,

O Savior of mankind!


Verse 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!


Verse 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.


Verse 5

O Jesus, Light of all below,

Thou Fount of living fire,

Surpassing all the joys we know,

And all we can desire.


Verse 6

Thee, Jesus, may our voices bless,

Thee may we love alone,

And ever in our lives express

The image of Thine own.


Verse 7

O most sweet Jesus, hear the sighs

Which unto Thee we send;

To Thee our inmost spirit cries;

To Thee our souls ascend.


Verse 8

Abide with us, and let Thy light Shine,

Lord, on every heart;

Dispel the darkness of our night;

And joy to us impart.


Verse 9

Jesus, our love and joy to Thee,

The virgin’s holy Son,

All might and praise and glory be,

While endless ages run.
