esus! 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,

How good to those who seek!

But what to those who find? Ah! this

Nor tongue nor pen can show:
