Background
Jesu, Dulcis Memoria (Jesus the very thought is sweet) has an English translation by Mick Swithinbank and Jamie Reid Baxter.
Jesus, sweet remembrance,
Granting the heart its true joys,
But above honey and all things
Is His sweet presence.
Nothing more pleasing can be sung,
Nothing gladder can be heard
Nothing sweeter can be thought
Than Jesus, son of God.
Jesus, hope of the penitent,
How merciful you are to those who ask,
How good to those who seek,
But O, what you are to those who find!
Tongue has no power to describe
Nor writings to express
But only belief can know by experience
What it is to love Jesus.
Be our joy, O Jesus,
Who will be the prize we win,
May all our glory be in you, always
And through all ages.
Amen.
Jesus, sweetness of hearts,
fount of life and light of minds,
surpassing all joy,
and every need.
