1 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.
Refrain:
Now none but Christ can satisfy,
No other name for me;
There’s love and life and lasting joy,
Lord Jesus, found in thee.
2 I sighed for rest and happiness,
I yearned for them, not thee;
But while I passed my Saviour by,
His love laid hold on me.
3 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.
4 The pleasures lost I sadly mourned,
But never wept for thee,
Till grace my sightless eyes received,
Thy loveliness to see.
