JESUS, SWEET NAME.

FROM THE LATIN OF BERNARD.

Jesus, the very thought is sweet! In that dear name all heart-joys meet; But sweeter than the honey far, The glimpses of his presence are.
No word is sung more sweet than this; No name is heard more full of bliss; No thought brings sweeter comfort nigh Than Jesus, Son of God Most High.
Jesus! the hope of souls forlorn, How good to them for sin that mourn! To them that seek thee, oh, how kind! But what art thou to them that find!
No tongue of mortal can express, No letters write its blessedness; Alone, who hath thee in his heart Knows, love of Jesus! what thou art.
O Jesus! King of wondrous might! O Victor! glorious from the fight! Sweetness that may not be expressed, And altogether loveliest.
