Jesu, the very thought is sweet; in that dear Name all heart joys meet;

but O than honey sweeter 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.

Jesu, the hope of souls forlorn! How good to them for sin that mourn!

To them that seek thee, O how kind! But what art thou to them that find?Jesu, thou sweetness, pure and blest,

Life’s Fountain, Light of souls distress’d;surpassing all that heart requires,

exceeding all that soul desires.No tongue of mortal can express,

no letters write its blessedness;Who hath thee in his heart knows,

love of Jesus, what thou art.

A nursery is provided on the first floor for infants and preschool children.Assisted listening devices are available; please ask any usher to obtain one.
