JESU DULCIS MEMORIA
-Bernardus van Claivaux-
Jesus, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills the breast !
Yet 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 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 !
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 Hope be Thou
As Thou our Prize shalt be.
In Thee be all our Glory now
And through Eternity.
Amen.
