Bernard of Clairvaux — Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee
By Bernard of ClairvauxSource: Bernard of Clairvaux - Jesu Dulcis Memoria (12th century) - Public Domain73 words
Jesus, the very thought of Thee with sweetness fills my breast. But sweeter far Thy face to see, and in Thy presence rest. Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame, nor can the memory find a sweeter sound than Thy blest name, O 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.
