Hymn 853: 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.
