*Lyrics:* 
Jesus, the very thought of Thee 
With sweetness fills the breast; 
But 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 Savior 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!
