Barring my faulty memory (and if I’m not lazy) I want to post prayers on Monday from all over Church History and then throughout the modern day, and then my own. This one comes is part of the hymn by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux which has as many as fifty stanzas.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jesus, the very thought of Thee
\nWith sweetness fills the breast;
\nBut sweeter far Thy face to see,
\nAnd in Thy presence rest.<\/p>\n
Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
\nNor can the memory find
\nA sweeter sound than Thy blest Name,
\nO Savior of mankind!<\/p>\n
O hope of every contrite heart,
\nO joy of all the meek,
\nTo those who fall, how kind Thou art!
\nHow good to those who seek!<\/p>\n
But what to those who find? Ah, this
\nNor tongue nor pen can show;
\nThe love of Jesus, what it is,
\nNone but His loved ones know.<\/p>\n
Jesus, our only joy be Thou,
\nAs Thou our prize will be;
\nJesus be Thou our glory now,
\nAnd through eternity.<\/p>\n
O most sweet Jesus, hear the sighs
\nWhich unto Thee we send;
\nTo Thee our inmost spirit cries;
\nTo Thee our prayers ascend.<\/p>\n
Abide with us, and let Thy light
\nShine, Lord, on every heart;
\nDispel the darkness of our night;
\nAnd joy to all impart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
