Methodist-Hymns-106
1: JESU! 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.
2: 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.
3: I seek for Jesus in repose,
When round my heart its chambers close;
Abroad, and when I shut the door,
I long for Jesus evermore.
4: With Mary in the morning gloom
I seek for Jesus at the tomb;
For Him, with love’s most earnest cry,
I seek with heart and not with eye .
5: Jesus ,to God the Father gone,
Is seated on the heavenly throne:
My heart hath also passed from me,
That where He is there it may be.
6: We follow Jesus now, and raise
The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise
That He at last may make us meet
With Him to gain the heavenly seat.
