O Hope Of Every Contrite Heart
O Hope Of Every Contrite Heart
| |
Bernard of Clairvaux (1091-1153), tr. by Edward Caswall, 1849
| 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! | 2. 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 show. |
| 3. Jesus, our only joy be Thou, As Thou our prize will be; Jesus, be Thou our glory now, And through eternity. |
