Lyrics

Long I sought for peace and com­fort,
In a world of sin and woe,
Till I heard the voice of Je­sus
Calling me in ac­cents low.

Refrain

I am sa­tis­fied with Je­sus,
I am sa­tis­fied with Him;
Ever keeps me sing­ing,
Keeps the joy-bells ring­ing,
I am sa­tis­fied with Him.

Charms of earth can nev­er lure me
From my Sav­ior’s side away;
He who with His blood has bought me
Satisfies me day by day.

Refrain

With His love now shin­ing thro’ me,
I a wit­ness true will be,
Telling ev­ery­where that Je­sus
Satisfies eter­nal­ly.
