Je-sus, the ver-y thought of Thee

With sweet-ness fills my breast

verse 2 same as 1 
No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
Nor can the memory find
A sweeter sound than Thy blest name,
O Savior of mankind.

verse 3 same as 1
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 same as 1
But what to those who find? Ah, this 
No tongue or pen can show;
The love of Jesus, what it is
None but His loved ones know.

verse 5 same as 1
Jesus, our only joy be Thou,
As Thou our prize wilt be;
Jesus, be Thou our glory now
And through eternity
