Jesus The Very Thought Of Thee Lyrics & Chords

By Bernard of Clairvaux

(G)Jesus, the (Am)very (C)thought (D)of (G)thee 
(D)with sweetness (G)fills (A)the (D)breast; 
(Am)but (E)sweeter (Am)far (A)Thy (D)face (A)to (D)see, 
(G)and in thy (D)presence (G)rest.

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 joy be thou, 
as thou our prize wilt be; 
Jesus, be thou our glory now, 
and through eternity.
