O Christ, in Thee my soul hath found

O Christ

in Thee my soul hath found

And found in Thee alone

The peace

the joy I sought so long

The bliss till now unknown.

Now none but Christ can satisfy

None other name for me;

There’s love and life and lasting joy

Lord Jesus

found in Thee.

I sighed for rest and happiness

I yearned for them

not Thee;

But

while I passed my Savior by

His love laid hold on me.

I tried the broken cisterns

Lord

But

ah

the waters failed!

E’en as I stooped to drink they fled

And mocked me as I wailed.

The pleasures lost I sadly mourned

But never wept for Thee

Till grace the sightless eyes received

Thy loveliness to see.
