Jesu, the very thought of thee

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-78 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #385 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Circumcision of Christ January 1st Lyrics: 1 Jesu, the very thought of thee With sweetness fills my breast; But sweeter far thy face to see, And in thy presence rest. 2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame, Nor can the memory find, A sweeter sound than thy blest name, O Saviour of mankind! 3 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! 4 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. 4 Jesu, our only joy be thou, As thou our prize wilt be; Jesu, be thou our glory now, And through eternity.

To the name that brings salvation

Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #470 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: The Circumcision of Christ January 1st Lyrics: 1 TO the name that brings salvation Praise and honour let us pay, Which for many a generation Hid in God's foreknowledge lay, But to every tongue and nation Holy Church proclaims today. 2 Jesus—be that name our treasure, Name beyond that words can tell; Name of gladness, name of pleasure, Ear and heart delighting well; Name of sweetness, passing measure, Freeing souls from sin's dark spell. 3 Name that calls for adoration, Name that speaks of victory, Name for grateful meditation In the vale of misery, Name for loving veneration By the citizens on high. 4 Name that whosoever preaches Makes sweet music to the ear; Who in prayer this name beseeches Finds divinest comfort near; Joyful then the heart that reaches To embrace that name so dear. 5 Name by hard-won right exalted Over every other name; And when man was sore assaulted Put the enemy to shame: Strength to them that else had halted, Sight to blind, and health to lame. 6 Jesu, we thy name adoring, Long to see thee as thou art: Of thy clemency imploring So to write it in our heart, That hereafter, upward soaring, We with angels may have part. 7 Where thou reignest with the Father, Thou the everlasting Son, Where with the eternal Spirit, Threefold God, yet ever One, May our eyes behold the splendour When our earthly course is done.
