each proud division ends.
The love that made us makes us one,
and strangers now are friends,
and strangers now are friends.

His presence, always near,
is in such friendship better known;
we see and praise him here,

we'll go our different ways,
and as his people in the world,
we'll live and speak his praise,

A sweeter sound than Thy blest Name,
O Savior of mankind!
3 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. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AGNES
Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee
