Soul of mine, in earth­ly temple,
Why not here con­tent abide?
Why art thou for­ev­er plead­ing?
Why art thou not sa­tis­fied?

Refrain

I shall be sa­tis­fied, I shall be sa­tis­fied,
When I awake in His like­ness;
I shall be sa­tis­fied, I shall be sa­tis­fied,
When I awake in His like­ness.

Soul of mine, my heart is cling­ing
To the earth’s fair pomp and pride;
Ah, why dost thou thus re­prove me?
Why art thou not sa­tis­fied?

Refrain

Soul of mine, must I sur­ren­der,
See myself as cru­ci­fied;
Turn from all of earth’s am­bi­tion,
That thou may’st be sa­tis­fied?

Refrain

Soul of mine, con­tinue plead­ing;
Sin re­buke and fol­ly chide;
I ac­cept the cross of Je­sus,
That thou may’st be sa­tis­fied.
