Hymn 575: Soul of mine, in earthly temple

Soul of mine, in earthly temple Why not here lyric 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.
