Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.853

First Line: O Christ, in Thee my soul hath found,

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.

Now none but Christ can satisfy
None 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'd fled,
And mocked me as I wailed. •

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