Our Hearts Adore Thee (verse lyrics by St. Bernard of Clairvaux)
[verse 1]
Jesus, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills the breast;
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.
[chorus]
Jesus, all our hearts adore Thee,
Full of grace and truth and light;
In Thy presence we find mercy,
In Thy love our great delight.
Ever near us, never leaving—
Be our song by day and night.
[verse 2]
No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
Nor can the mem’ry find
A Sweeter sound than Thy blest name,
O Saviour of mankind!
[chorus]
Jesus, all our hearts adore Thee,
Full of grace and truth and light;
In Thy presence we find mercy,
In Thy love our great delight.
Ever near us, never leaving—
Be our song by day and night.
[verse 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!
[chorus]
Jesus, all our hearts adore Thee,
Full of grace and truth and light;
In Thy presence we find mercy,
In Thy love our great delight.
Ever near us, never leaving—
Be our song by day and night.
[verse 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.
[final chorus]
Jesus, all our hearts adore Thee,
Full of grace and truth and light;
In Thy presence we find mercy,
In Thy love our great delight.
Ever near us, never leaving—
Be our song by day and night.

Blessings dear hearts! May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
