	LOVE AND GRATITUDE

	326




	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! ^ 0 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. 5 Jesus, our only joy be Thou, As Thou our prize wilt be; Jesus, be Thou our glory now, And through eternity.

	Bernard of Clairvaux. Tr. by Rev. Edward Caswall, 1848 327



	2 I see Thee not, I hear Thee not, 4 Yet though I have not seen, and still Yet art Thou oft with me; Must rest in faith alone, And earth hath ne'er so dear a spot, I love Thee, dearest Lord, — and will, As where I meet with Thee. Unseen, but not unknown. 3 Like some bright dream that comes un- 5 When death these mortal eyes shall seal, When slumbers o'er me roll, [sought And still this throbbing heart, Thine image ever fills my thought, The rending veil shall Thee reveal, And charms my ravished soul. All-glorious as Thou art. Rev. Ray Palmer, 1858
