Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.575

First Line: Soul of mine, in earthly temple,

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

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

2 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 ?

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

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