Bernard of Clairvaux wrote the hymn “Jesus the Very Thought of Thee”

Jesus, the very thought of Thee

With sweetness fills the breast;

But sweeter far Thy face to see,

And in Thy presence rest.

Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,

nor can the memory find

A sweeter sound than thy blest name,

O Saviour of mankind
