Jesus! the very thought is sweet;<br>
Jesu! the very thought is sweet;
in that dear name all heart-joys meet;<br>
in that dear name all heart-joys meet;
No sound is heard more full of bliss,<br>
No word is sung more sweet than this,
Than Jesus, Son of God most high.<br>
No sound is heard more full of bliss,
 
Than Jesus, Jesus, Son of God most high.
