Lyrics

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,
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.

Refrain

I tried the brok­en cis­terns, Lord,
But, ah, the wa­ters failed;
Even as I stooped to drink they fled,
And mocked me as I wailed.

Refrain

The plea­sures lost I sad­ly mourned,
But ne­ver wept for Thee,
Till grace the sight­less eyes re­ceived,
Thy love­li­ness to see.
