     1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, 2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: 3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far. 4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? 5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. 6 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people. 7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. 8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. 9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

     10 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.(KJV)

1. Jesus, the very thought of thee 
With sweetness fills the breast; 
But sweeter far Thy face to see 
And in Thy presence rest. 

2. Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame, 
Nor can the memory find 
A sweeter sound than Thy blest name, 
O Savior or mankind! 

3. O 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.
