You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
Psalm 145:16
Words: Tullius C. O’Kane, in Glorious Things in Sacred Song (Delaware, Ohio: T. C. O’Kane, 1886), page 13.
I have sought in worldly pleasure
Unalloyed delight to find,
But in Christ I’ve found a treasure
Satisfying heart and mind.
Refrain
Jesus satisfies my longings,
All I need, in Him I see;
Glory, glory hallelujah,
Christ is all the world to me.
He’s my joy and consolation,
Elder brother, truest friend:
He’s my rock, my full salvation,
And His love will never end.
Refrain
Be the pathway bright or dreary,
Full of hope, or shadowed be,
Whether strong, or faint and weary,
Christ is all the world to me.
